New Book, "The Integration Debate," Features Chapter by Marc Mauer, Executive Director of The Sentencing Project

The newly published, "The Integration Debate," (Routledge, 2009) "explores both long-standing and emerging controversies over the nation's ongoing struggles with discrimination and segregation. More urgently, it offers guidance on how these barriers can be overcome to achieve truly balanced and integrated living patterns." The book covers policy analysis and reform strategies in the areas of school desegregation, housing market discrimination, health disparities, and other areas of social policy. "The Integration Debate" also features a closing essay on "The Legacy of Segregation: Smashing Through the Generations," by Roger Wilkins.

Co-author, Chester Hartman, is Director of Research for the Washington, DC-based Poverty & Race Research Action Council. Co-author, Gregory D. Squires, is a Professor of Sociology, and Public Policy and Public Administration at George Washington University.
