Analyzes the school integration controversy in Boston during the 1970s in terms of economic and historical forces and the power relationships that shaped it. Also evaluates the role of these forces in creating ethnic and racial divisions and considers the correspondences among economic processes; legal, political, and educational structures; and property relationships.
