In this groundbreaking book, co-editors Pedro Noguera and Jean
Yonemura Wing, and their collaborators investigated the dynamics of
race and achievement at Berkeley High School–a large public
high school that the New York Times called "the most
integrated high school in America." Berkeley's diverse student
population clearly illustrates the "achievement gap" phenomenon in
our schools. Unfinished Business brings to light the hidden
inequities of schools–where cultural attitudes, academic
tracking, curricular access, and after-school activities serve as
sorting mechanisms that set students on paths of success or
failure.
