Savage Inequalities
Book • 1991
In *Savage Inequalities*, Jonathan Kozol delivers a searing critique of the American educational system, exposing the profound disparities between affluent and impoverished schools.
Through his visits to schools across the country, Kozol reveals the devastating conditions faced by students in underfunded urban schools, contrasting them with the abundant resources available in affluent districts.
He argues that these inequalities are perpetuated by systemic factors such as residential segregation and unequal funding, and advocates for a more equitable distribution of resources and policies to address these issues.
