An End to Inequality

Breaking Down the Walls of Apartheid Education in America

About this book

An “unapologetic cri de coeur” (New York Times) from the esteemed educator and bestselling author

“The legendary reformer[’s] . . . last stand against school inequality.” —Education Next


In 1967, Jonathan Kozol’s Death at an Early Age shook the education world, exposing the abuse and neglect of Black children in Boston’s public schools in a National Book Award–winning volume. Now, after more than fifty years spent visiting struggling, unequal schools, the author that Entertainment Weekly calls “a classic American muckraker with an eloquent prose style” has given us a book that Bob Peterson of Rethinking Schools deems “Kozol at his best.”

This “powerful and provocative cutting-edge analysis” (Iván Espinoza-Madrigal, executive director, Lawyers for Civil Rights) highlights the ongoing racial isolation in America’s public schools, compounded by rigid, punitive teaching methods. From the award-winning educator who WBUR radio says “has spent his life devoted to exposing the harms of segregation and telling the stories of those most impacted by inequality,” An End to Inequality is called “jolting” by Ralph Nader, and Charlayne Hunter-Gault says “Kozol’s voice remains fresh as ever.”
