A propos de cet article

Hardcover. In the wake of Brown v. Board of Education, racial equality in American public education appeared to have a bright future. But, for many, that brightness dimmed considerably following the Supreme Courts landmark decision in Milliken v. Bradley (1974). While the literature on Brown is voluminous, Joyce Baughs measured and insightful study offers the only available book-length analysis of Milliken, the first major desegregation case to originate outside the South. As Baugh chronicles, when the city of Detroit sought to address school segregation by busing white students to black schools, a Michigan statute signed by Gov. William Milliken overruled the plan. In response, the NAACP sued the state on behalf of Ronald Bradley and other affected parents. The federal district court sided with the plaintiffs and ordered the city and state to devise a metropolitan plan that crossed city lines into the suburbs and encompassed a total of fifty-four school districts. The state, however, appealed that decision all the way to the Supreme Court. In its controversial 5-4 decision, the Courts new conservative majority ruled that, since there was no evidence that the suburban school districts had deliberately engaged in a policy of segregation, the lower courts remedy was wholly impermissible and not justified by Brownwhich the Court said could only address de jure, not de facto segregation. While the Courts majority expressed concern that the district courts remedy threatened the sanctity of local control over schools, the minority contended that the decision would allow residential segregation to be used as a valid excuse for school segregation. To reconstruct the proceedings and give all claims a fair hearing, Baugh interviewed lawyers representing both sides in the case, as well as the federal district judge who eventually closed the litigation; plumbed the papers of Justices Blackmun, Brennan, Douglas, and Marshall; talked with the main reporter who covered the case; and researched the NAACP files on Milliken. What emerges is a detailed account of how and why Milliken came about, as well as its impact on the Courts school-desegregation jurisprudence and on public education in American cities. The only book-length analysis of Milliken v. Bradley, the first major desegregation case to originate outside the South. Reveals how the Supreme Court's decision undercut efforts to desegregate metropolitan public school systems, especially in the North, and how its negative effects on public education have endured.
