David Salisbury and Casey Lartigue, editors, Cato InstituteMay 2004
This 300-page collection of a dozen essays, released by the Cato Institute, is subtitled "Brown v. Board after Half a Century" and edited by Cato staffers David Salisbury and Casey Lartigue. It contains some swell entries, including essays by Howard Fuller, Floyd Flake, David Bositis, Paul Peterson, Irasema Salcido and Rick Hess. Bositis is interesting on the politics of school choice among black and white voters; Peterson draws a perceptive distinction between Brown and Zelman; D.C. charter-school founder Salcido does a fine job of recounting her school's trials and accomplishments; and more. Though suffering from the inherent limits of essay collections, this one does a nice job of linking the issues of race and choice in American education. The ISBN is 1930865562 and you can learn more at http://www.cato.org/events/040511bf.html.
