About this book

For over 200 years, legislators, educators, and public-minded citizens have debated how to govern public schools. This book reviews these debates and discusses racial integration, ethnicity, social class, vouchers, charter, magnet and private schools in the United States, the former German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany.

Reviews

"Jurgen Herbst's latest work is a path-breaking study of school choice as it has developed over the past two centuries, fascinating for what it tells us about parents, schools, and education policy in general." - Professor Gary McCulloch, Brian Simon Professor of the History of Education, Institute of Education, University of London
