The Supreme Court announced its landmark school desegregation decision on May 17, 1954. Several new books explore the case, and what has happened since: Richard Kluger, Simple Justice (re-issue of a widely praised history, with a new afterword); Michael J. Klarman, From Jim Crow to Civil Rights (which sees Brown as the inevitable result of historic forces); Derrick Bell, Silent Covenants (which sees the promise of Brown remaining unfulfilled); Charles J. Ogletree Jr., All Deliberate Speed (which questions whether integration is an unalloyed benefit); Sheryll Cashin, The Failures of Integration (which responds to the failures by laying out an integrationist vision). |
