Carefully reconsidering how and why black students have\u003cbr\u003ecome to equate school success with whiteness, \u003cem\u003eIntegration Interrupted \u003c\/em\u003eargues that when students understand race to be connected with achievement, it is a powerful lesson conveyed by schools, not their peers. Drawing on over ten years of ethnographic research, Karolyn Tyson shows how equating school\u003cbr\u003esuccess with acting white arose in the aftermath of \u003cem\u003eBrown v. Board of Education \u003c\/em\u003ethrough the practice of curriculum tracking, which separates students for instruction, ostensibly by ability and prior achievement. Only in very specific circumstances, when black students are drastically\u003cbr\u003eunderrepresented in advanced and gifted classes, do anxieties about the burden of acting white emerge. Racialized tracking continues to define the typical American secondary school, but it goes unremarked, except by the young people who experience its costs and consequences daily. The rich\u003cbr\u003enarratives in \u003cem\u003eIntegration Interrupted \u003c\/em\u003ethrow light on the complex relationships underlying school behaviors and convincingly demonstrate that the problem lies not with students, but instead with how we organize our schools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karolyn Tyson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199736454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKarolyn Tyson\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39937646297203,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_224bc0be-4f0b-4595-ad3f-c28c68c117c4.jpg?v=1647994824","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/integration-interrupted-tracking-black-students-and-acting-white-after-brown-9780199736454","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
