Race and Place considers the everyday experiences of community members throughout the process of school desegregation and how race, place, and truth came to matter in this process in Prince George’s County, Maryland, from 1945 through 1973. The book is organized around several successive policies that emerged in this time: school equalization, school choice, neighborhood schools, school construction, school closure, busing for racial integration, and school discipline. Dougherty shows how these policies contained and reinforced assumptions about place and created new racial truths about people and schooling.
DEIRDRE MAYER DOUGHERTY is a visiting assistant professor of educational studies at Knox College. She is the coauthor of The Fertile Ground of School Integration: A Counter-Story to Segregated and Unequal Education (forthcoming).
