This study analyzes Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools by Jonathan Kozol, a foundational text that reveals persistent inequalities in the US education system. Equity theory acts as a conceptual basis for this review, which builds on Kozol's arguments by examining the connections between race, socioeconomic status, and policy. The examination places Kozol's conclusions within both historical and modern frameworks of educational inequality, highlighting their systemic origins and ongoing effects. Major themes encompass inequalities in educational financing, distribution of resources, and the sufficiency of infrastructure, alongside the impacts of environmental racism and implicit segregation in sustaining disparities. Through an analysis of the literature, this research emphasizes the ongoing challenges and discussions related to educational equity, including funding changes, inclusive curricula, and systemic inequities. By comparing Kozol's narrative with contemporary studies, this review evaluates its enduring impact on scholarly and policy debates. The research highlights the necessity for significant educational changes to tackle systemic disparities and advance social justice. By situating Kozol's perspectives within contemporary contexts of educational and social transformation, this study further supports ongoing efforts for equitable education.
