With this first supplement to his world bibliography, which was published in 1981, Weinberg continues his efforts to retrieve and provide access to the many invaluable contributions on the subject of educating the world's poor and minority children that are frequently overlooked in the prevailing emphasis on mainstream educational and institutional concerns. Covering the literature that appeared between 1979 and 1985 in some 20,000 entries, this volume offers a detailed introduction to schooling as it is affected by the social, economic, and political forces around it.

"In a comprehensive, balanced, and detailed analysis of hundreds of studies, organized into topical chapters, [Weinberg] covers such issues as race and intelligence, desegregation and academic achievement, education in black schools, the education of Mexican and Native Americans, and minority experiences in higher education. The research cited represents a wide range of studies. The author's own conclusions are balanced, as in his summary of discriminatory practices within schools: The course of desegregation depends greatly on the educational leadership that is brought to bear.' This is an excellent, readable, and even indispensable book.... More than a review of the literature, it defines the scope and diversity of minority education studies to date. Appropriate for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students."-Choice
