It is a study of how big corporate power uses private wealth to legislate, shape unequal race relations, broker ideas, and define \"acceptable\" social change. Drawing on little-known biographies of White power brokers who shaped Black education, William Watkins explains the structuring of segregated education that has plagued the United States for much of the 20th century. With broad and interdisciplinary appeal, this book is written in a language accessible to lay people and scholars alike.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Teachers College Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523380965656,"sku":"9780807740422","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-white-architects-of-black-education-ideology-and-power-in-america-1865-1954-paperback-softback-9780807740422","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
