Abstract: Abstract:The momentous 1954 Supreme Court ruling on school desegregation is the subject of James T. Patterson’s new book. In Brown v. Board of Education: A Civil Rights Milestone and Its Troubled Legacy (Oxford University Press, 2001), Patterson, who is the Ford Foundation Professor of History at Brown and winner of the Bancroft prize for his book Great Expectations: The United States, 1945–1974, seeks to address the multiple forces that led to the ruling and to assess the various intended and unintended effects it had on American society. The book is the first in the new “Pivotal Moments in American History” series by Oxford University Press. Series editors David Hackett Fischer and James McPherson have written that the series is intended to examine large historical problems through the lens of particular historical incidents. The editors hope to “encourage a new way of writing history—one that combines the newest understandings of the past with an old notion of history as a narrative art.”1
