Desegregation: Resistance and Readiness

The most critical dimension of desegregation in our region is found in the attitudes of members of the dominant white communities. Melvin Tumin, a sociology professor at Princeton University, and eleven associates...have done a first-rate job mapping this vital dimension in an opinion study of citizens of Guilford County, North Carolina...the best effort yet to plumb citizens' attitudes on this agonizing modern problem.--Reading Guide, Law Library of University of Virginia.
