By assembling a wide range of contributors - historians, sociologists, economists, and education scholars - the editors provide a comprehensive view of a community’s experience with desegregation and economic development. Here we see resegregation through the lens of Charlotte, North Carolina, once a national model of successfuldesegregation, and home of the landmark Swann desegregation case, which gave rise to school busing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book recounts the last forty years of Charlotte’sdesegregation and resegregation, putting education reform in a political and economic context. Within a decade of the Swann case, the district had developed one of the nation’s most successful desegregation plans, measured by racial balance and improved academic outcomes for both black and white students. However, beginning in the 1990s, this plan was gradually dismantled. Today, the level of resegregation in Charlotte has almost returned to what it was prior to 1971. At the core of Charlotte’s story is the relationship between social structure and human agency, with an emphasis on how yesterday’s decisions and actions define today’s choices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMap of Mecklenburg County\u003c\/i\u003e vii\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface\u003c\/i\u003e ix\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYesterday, Today, and Tomorrow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Structure and Agency in the Resegregation of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools 1\u003cbr\u003e Roslyn Arlin Mickelson, Stephen Samuel Smith, and Amy Hawn Nelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Price of Success\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Political Economy of Education, Desegregation, and Development in Charlotte 17\u003cbr\u003e Stephen Samuel Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Spirit of Togetherness\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Desegregation and Community at West Charlotte High School 39\u003cbr\u003e Pamela Grundy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Academic Genocide” on the West Side\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e West Charlotte High School in the Post-Swann Era 53\u003cbr\u003e Roslyn Arlin Mickelson, Stephen Samuel Smith, Stephanie Southworth, and S.
