Constricted Terrain: Jonathan Kozol, the Left, and the Possibilities of Educational Reform.
Lowe, Robert; Kantor, Harvey
Educational Theory, v43 n1 p11-14 Win 1993
Kozol's books examine how public schools perpetuate racial injustice, noting ethical abdication by the affluent in violation of children's innocence and capability by urban schools. Schools fail children by deforming the spirit of the poor and soothing the conscience of the rich. Kozol demands greater resources for poor students. (SM)
