Deculturalization and the claim of racial and cultural superiority by Anglo-Americans Native Americans: deculturalization, schooling, and globalization African Americans: deculturalization, transformation, and segregation Asian Americans: exclusion and segregation Hispanic/Latino Americans: exclusion and segregation The great civil rights movement and the new culture wars Twenty-first century: post-racial society?

This text is a concise history of Anglo American racism and school policies affecting dominated groups in the United States. It focuses on the educational, legal, and social construction of race and racism, and on educational practices related to deculturalization, segregation, and the civil rights movement. Spring emphasizes issues of power and control in schools and shows how the dominant Anglo class has stripped away the culture of minority peoples in the U.S. and replaced it with the dominant culture. In the process, he gives voice to the often-overlooked perspectives of African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, and Native Americans. An understanding of these historical perspectives and how they impact current conditions and policies is critical to teachers' success or failure in today's diverse classrooms.
