The Dynamics of School Integration
This multilevel approach to school integration includes a case study of Community X --a middle-sized Midwest city noted for its typicalness; it is considered to be an excellent city to study de facto segregation. The account of the attempts by Community X to achieve a high quality integrated education is held to be of urgent interest. It is argued that a segregated learning situation is unreal, and does serious harm both to whites and blacks. Some of the reasons why Community X saw and actively confronted this problem are analyzed. Citizen reaction and effectiveness of various proposals are described. All of the elements of the problem are treated --the school administration, the committee, teachers, parents, and children. A discussion held to be especially important shows how slum school education affects the self concept of black students. Concrete suggestions are given for approaches to teaching that will overcome the great gap between the lower class child and the white middle class education system.

Australian Soul
Australian Soul challenges the idea that religious and spiritual life in Australia is in decline. This fascinating book describes the character of religious and spiritual life in Australia today, and argues that, far from petering out, religion and spirituality are thriving. Gary Bouma, the leading expert on the state of religious life in Australia, provides the most up-to-date facts and figures and compares the 'tone' of Australian religious practices with those of other countries. Australians might be less vocal and more reticent about their religion than Americans are, but their religious and spiritual beliefs are no less potent. Australian Soul describes and analyses our religious and spiritual life in detail as well as providing a series of case studies that illustrate the range of practices and beliefs in Australia today. Australian Soul predicts a vital future for religion and spirituality.

Contempt and Pity
For over a century, the idea that African Americans are psychologically damaged has played an important role in discussions of race. In this provocative work, Daryl Michael Scott argues that damage imagery has been the product of liberals and conservatives, of racists and antiracists. While racial conservatives, often playing on white contempt for blacks, have sought to use findings of black pathology to justify exclusionary policies, racial liberals have used damage imagery primarily to promote policies of inclusion and rehabilitation. In advancing his argument, Scott challenges some long-held beliefs about the history of damage imagery. He rediscovers the liberal impulses behind Stanley El...
