New Book: Stubborn Roots: Race, Culture, and Inequality in U.S. and South African Schools

In her new book, Prudence Carter looks to the U.S. and South Africa to examine why students of color are more successful at some schools than others.

"Prudence Carter's work is simultaneously scholarly and compassionate. It helps us see, in ... two benighted but globally important societies, how easily things break, but also how well, when structures are in place and when human agency takes flight, individuals and the groups to which they belong flourish and grow."

— Crain Soudien, Professor of Education, University of Cape Town
