[A] richly instructive 'arithmetical history' of how educational integration waxed and then waned in the years after Brown. -- David J. Garrow, The Nation This is an important book, with thorough analysis supported by both historical and current data. Clotfelter's angle of vision measuring the lack of interracial contact, is both insightful and informative. -- Library Journal After Brown is an unusually comprehensive and well-documented analysis of trends in the last five decades in the levels of segregation in American education... It is the most current, most comprehensive reference work available today. -- John R. Logan, American Journal of Sociology
