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

3.0

I did not complete this book - I maybe got through 75% of it before I just found it completely redundant. I absolutely love the information provided, and I learned so much about the dire and disgusting conditions of urban education settings, especially how we subject students of color to these conditions for learning when just down the street, white students are flourishing with their new Macs, gym equipment, textbooks, etc. Definitely a book I will reference many times in the future when researching and writing about the sociology of education, but the book got very repetitive after a while and could have been condensed (each chapter is about a different city that experiences basically the same horrors of systematic racism in education, which is unfortunate and horrible but the redundancy was unbearable at times).
