Fifty years after integration became the law of the land, is American society still segregated in fact? Law professor Roy L. Brooks argues frankly that integration hasn’t worked as promised, while also casting doubt on total separation of the races as a solution.
Brooks proposes a middle path he calls limited separation: cultural and economic self-sufficiency within African-American communities, without abandoning the broader goal of racial integration. It’s a provocative, well-argued case that challenged both sides of the civil rights debate when it was published.
