Carefully reconsidering how and why black students have come 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 success 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 underrepresented in advanced and gifted classes, do anxieties about \"the burden of acting white\" emerge. Racialized\u003cbr\u003etracking 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 narratives 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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\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\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 21, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52504363827507,"sku":"9780199736454","price":83.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TU5MVFJHc0xtQVd5eVA3Q3pwVm9yQT09.webp?v=1760194555","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/integration-interrupted-tracking-black-students-and-acting-white-after-brown-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
