Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools Free Audiobook Download by Jonathan Kozol


Jonathan Kozol's book, Savage Inequalities, examines the lives of children in American public schools. It begins with a thorough investigation of how the structural inequalities of American society have influenced the education system. Kozol argues that this inequality is most clearly seen in the rising disparity in how much money wealthy and poor students receive based on their parents' income and race.

As America’s schools are increasingly segregated by wealth and race, a new book argues that today’s children are the most segregated in decades. The author, Jonathan Kozol, says that school segregation by race is becoming more pronounced in the US but the clearest evidence of how this trend has shifted over time comes from education data. Kozol found that public schools in 1970 were racially integrated at a level not seen since 1954.

In this audiobook, Kozol tells the sad story of what's happening to America's children and why. He does this with case studies and stories, covering topics such as school segregation, educational justice for all, the school-to-prison pipeline, charter schools vs. public education, and much more

In the twenty-one years that Jonathan Kozol has been researching and writing about American education, he's watched the nation's educational systems go from inhumane to inhuman. The author argues that in order to see concrete progress in improving conditions for America's kids, schools must be taken out of the hands of corporations, politicians and private property owners and put back into public control. This is a call for what Kozol calls "Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools."

In the book 'Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools,' Jonathan Kozol dives deep into what many people in America and around the world consider "the most important problem of our time." It is a topic that has been heavily debated for years, but this book takes an in-depth look at America's schools, providing case studies and real-life examples. While examining the socio-economic problems of children, Kozol challenges readers to think about the "system" as a whole - from funding to fair allocation.

This book by Jonathan Kozol is a must-read for anyone who cares about our country's children. It is scary and disgusting to think that 43 million American children are living in poverty and their futures are bleak.
