      abstract = {Overview: In the wake of Brown v. Board of Education,  racial equality in American public education appeared to  have a bright future. But for many that brightness dimmed  considerably following the Supreme Court's decision in  Milliken v. Bradley (1974), which emerged from Detroit's  efforts to use cross-district busing to desegregate its  schools and was the first such case to originate outside  the South. In its controversial 5-4 decision, the Supreme  ruled that, since there was no evidence that the suburban  school districts had deliberately engaged in a policy of  segregation, the lower court's remedy of busing school  children across municipal lines was "wholly impermissible"  and not justified by Brown--which the Court said could only  address de jure, not de facto segregation. In this first  book-length account of the case, Joyce Baugh provides a  richly detailed account of how and why Milliken came about  and analyzes its subsequent impact on both civil rights  jurisprudence and public education in American cities.},
