Year Published: 2005
The report focuses on segregation and the increased segregation in schools by socio-economic status. With an emphasis on multiracial discrimination, poverty, and segregation, the authors present a variety of ELL demographic data by region related to poverty. In addition, the authors show how rapidly changing demographic changes challenge more typical notions of segregation.
