The book explores the dynamics of the educational marketplace, arguing that the failure of school desegregation stemmed from monopolistic approaches to redistributing educational opportunities. Through historical evidence, it critiques how these efforts limited genuine choice and control within the system, ultimately hindering progress towards equitable education.

This book includes an analysis of the most significant Supreme Court cases that have been decided in the ten years since the first edition of the book appeared. The authors consider the important implications of these recent rulings for the future of school desegregation in America's schools.
