About this book

Brooks says with frank clarity what few will admit—integration hasn't worked and possibly never will. Equally, he casts doubt on the solution that many African-Americans and mainstream whites have advocated: total separation of the races. This book presents Brooks's strategy for a middle way between the extremes of integration and separation.

Reviews

Brooks, a legal scholar who spent much of his career arguing for integration, breaks new ground with this powerful case for 'limited separation'--an alternative to both integrationist and separatist solutions to American racism...[T]he book is valuable for its thorough review of the state of American race relations today and the inadequacy of current solutions.
-- Choice

[Integration or Separation] is a scholarly and reasoned analysis of the history of race relations, laws regarding the same, and state-of-the-art civil-rights thinking. Its purpose appears to be to influence those who influence others in shaping institutional, political, and legal solutions to civil-rights questions...One hopes that the ideas he has offered up for debate will be given wider circulation.
