Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools by Jonathan Kozol

3.0

The age of this book is certainly a hurdle. Though the larger hurdle is the author's tendencies to reduce descriptive tellings to just one or two adjectives. Detailing conditions as “ deplorable” or “unimaginable” doesn't contribute to the readers understanding, just incites more outrage. There is, however, enough detail in the book to justify readers' outrage. I would suggest reading this book to others for it's coverage of education situations in multiply cities and regions in the United States, but readers will best be served by counting their reading with the progress of the issue.
