The Failures of Integration is a bold and thought-provoking analysis of how race and class still divide America. Law professor and policy expert Sheryll Cashin argues that despite the promises of the civil rights movement, the United States remains deeply segregated not only by race but also by income and opportunity.

Drawing on data, history, and personal insight, Cashin explores how these divides undermine the ideal of the American Dream, leaving millions of Americans isolated by neighborhood, school, and social network. At once critical and hopeful, the book calls for honest dialogue and meaningful reform to create a truly inclusive society.
