Le Conseil Métropolitain pour l’Opportunité Éducative (METCO) à Boston : intégration raciale et libéralisme de banlieue, 1966-1996 by Sarah Harakat

“…By retracing the genesis of the program, and in particular its continuation through the anti-busing crisis of the 1970s, I analyze its success as the result of its strict obedience to the rules of suburban liberalism (Geismer): although publicly celebrated as grounded in mutual contribution, the choice of racial integration is in fact conceived as an act of charity.This article draws on METCO’s archives, quantitative US census data from the second half of the twentieth century and the historiography of the anti-busing crisis in Boston, as well as oral history interviews conducted with alumni who went to schools in the the suburbs affected by the program.…”
