Despite the Best Intentions: How Racial Inequality Thrives in Good Schools takes a look at a suburban public high school that appears to be the utopia of racial equity to understand the disconnect between good intentions and real world outcomes for minority students. Chapters 1-6 are original to the book’s first edition, published in 2015, while Chapters 7 and 8 are updates and lessons learned. This is a book most will want to read slowly, with breaks for reflection and consideration.
