largely the same.

Unequal
Fortunes
Snapshots from
the South Bronx
Arthur Levine
and Laura
Scheiber
“A compelling and
worthwhile book,
especially for those who teach in
inner-city schools.”
—Education Update
“Recommended.”
—Choice
In this powerful book, Arthur
Levine (president of the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation) revisits the
South Bronx, where he grew up
in the 1960s, and compares his
experiences with those of a group
of teenagers nearly 40 years later.
The authors focus on the new
social realities that have shaped
Levine’s old neighborhood, and
they conclude with the lessons that
must be learned if we are to help
today’s disenfranchised children.
