Renegotiating a Multicultural Society: Participation in Desegregation Planning in Chicago.

Hess, G. Alfred, Jr.

Journal of Negro Education, v53 n2 p132-46 Spr 1984

Discusses the history of school desegregation efforts in Chicago from the 1964 Civil Rights Act to the present. Suggests that the concept of "uniform incorporation" of all citizens in society is being replaced by the goal of "egalitarian pluralism" (Pierre van den Berghe's categories) by Chicago's Black and Hispanic leaders.
