For two years, he visited schools in neighborhoods across the country, from Illinois to Washington, D.C., and from New York to San Antonio. He spoke with teachers, principals, superintendents, and, most important, children. What he found was devastating. Not only were schools for rich and poor blatantly unequal, the gulf between the two extremes was widening—and it has widened since. The urban schools he visited were overcrowded and understaffed, and lacked the basic elements of learning—including books and, all too often, classrooms for the students.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSavage Inequalities\u003c\/i\u003e, Kozol delivers a searing examination of the extremes of wealth and poverty and calls into question the reality of equal opportunity in our nation’s schools.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eSavage Inequalities\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I was unprepared for the horror and shame I felt. . . . \u003ci\u003eSavage Inequalities\u003c\/i\u003e is a savage indictment. . . .
