  In Roundtable Session: Black Educational Journeys: From Historical Strivings to Integration Narratives (Table 21)

Abstract

One of the most fundamental racial narratives in relation to schooling inequality is that of school segregation. This paper addresses the history of school segregation and integration narratives as a part of the long trajectory of struggle over schooling for nonwhite peoples (Dougherty 2004; Dumas,2007). I argue that a long view of the history of school segregation narratives, which begins in the post-civil war period, allows for a deeper examination of how narratives of school segregation were applied to other racialized groups in comparison to Black communities, particularly those about Indigenous peoples.
