Rias Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Print ISBN: 9783030042479, 3030042472 eText ISBN: 9783030042486, 3030042480 Copyright year: 2019 Format: EPUB Available from $ 84.99 USD SKU 9783030042486 This book examines the history of the school desegregation movement in St. Louis, Missouri. Underlining the 2014 killing of Michael Brown as a catalyst for re-examination of school desegregation, Rias delves into the connection between contemporary school segregation and social justice, probing the ways that “soft racism”—a term the author uses to describe the non-violent, yet equally harmful, types of protests that opponents of desegregation utilized—has permeated St. Louis since the days of Brown v. Board of Education. The chapters feature the voices of those who were central to the desegregation fight in St. Louis, showing how the devastating effects of school segregation and soft racism linger today.
