This bibliography collates and classifies articles, books, congressional hearings and research dealing with racism in America. Weinberg covers such subjects as civil rights, desegregation, violence and other forms of oppression such as sexism, anti-semitism and economic exploitation.

During the 1960s and the 1970s standard educational journals were ignoring the rising numbers of Asian-American children. This work analyzes the range of Asian-American education and provides American readers with information about individual ethnic groups.

With this first supplement to his world bibliography, which was published in 1981, Weinberg continues his efforts to retrieve and provide access to the many invaluable contributions on the subject of educating the world's poor and minority children that are frequently overlooked in the prevailing emphasis on mainstream educational and institutional concerns. Covering the literature that appeared between 1979 and 1985 in some 20,000 entries, this volume offers a detailed introduction to schooling as it is affected by the social, economic, and political forces around it.

"In a comprehensive, balanced, and detailed analysis of hundreds of studies, organized into topical chapters, [Weinberg] covers such issues as race and intelligence, desegregation and academic achievement, education in black schools, the education of Mexican and Native Americans, and minority experiences in higher education. The research cited represents a wide range of studies. The author's own conclusions are balanced, as in his summary of discriminatory practices within schools: The course of desegregation depends greatly on the educational leadership that is brought to bear.' This is an excellent, readable, and even indispensable book.... More than a review of the literature, it defines the scope and diversity of minority education studies to date. Appropriate for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students."-Choice

How - and why - have children of blacks, American Indians, Mexican-Americans, and Puerto Ricans been deprived by and often excluded from the so-called American educational system? In this classic 1977 study of a problem neglected or undervalued in most standard histories of American education, Professor Meyer Weinberg seeks the answers.
