choice in schools was meant to provide a specific type of education with a specific curriculum to a population of students whose needs were not adequately being met in the traditional school setting. However, simply providing this space and opportunity for such consumers neglects to address the issues in existing schools or within society as a whole, and essentially leads to segregation of both the issue and the students the school serves. This book provides its readers with a unique and productive way to view the Afrecentric Alternative School in Toronto, and how it came to be, as well as a lens in which to look at school choice and the manner in which other communities might deal with race and inequity in schools. While this book was not written with the intent of providing specific solutions, there are numerous takeaways that can be applied to school systems worldwide, most important being the need to acknowledge the differences of others, and how those differences impact their educational needs. Additionally, this book highlights the need to continued research in the areas of race in education, as well as the impact of school choice on systematic issues, and would be a useful tool in starting crucial conversations about inequality within our schools.
