Savage Inequalities

In Savage Inequalities, Jonathan Kozol delivers a compelling indictment of the deep-seated inequalities in America's public education system. Drawing from his two-year journey across the country, where he visited schools in neighborhoods ranging from the poorest urban areas to the suburbs of Illinois, Kozol paints a stark picture of the staggering inequality in education that exists in America. From overcrowded and understaffed urban schools, to a depressing lack of learning materials and shrinking opportunities, children are being left behind, their futures blighted by circumstance and geography. This eye-opening examination of America's education system has been called a classic piece of muckraking journalism, and remains as powerful and necessary today as when it was first published.
