Jonathan Kozol's *The Shame of the Nation* exposes the resegregation of American public schools. Revisiting schools from *Death at an Early Age*, Kozol reveals worsened conditions and pervasive de facto segregation. Through narratives and interviews, he highlights the impact of unequal funding, inadequate resources, and eroded hope in minority schools. This book is a searing indictment of educational inequalities, urging readers to confront the consequences of a system that fails to provide equal opportunity and calls for a renewed commitment to integration and equitable education.
