Conundrums of Integration: Desegregation in the Context of Racialized Hierarchy

---

Recent scholarly and public conversations have given renewed attention to integration as a goal, an aspiration,
and/or an “imperative.” These calls for integration are infused with the conviction that segregation is a
linchpin, if not the linchpin, of persistent racialized hierarchies. While the costs of persistent segregation
remain clear, the call for integration as the unequivocal answer is more contested. In this article we grapple
with some of these conundrums of integration, asking whether, in fact, integration furthers equity and if
not, why not? To explore this issue we focus on an “integrated” space—Riverview, a successful high school
known for its diversity—and drawing on theory from social psychology, we show how the promise of
integration in such contexts is undermined. We conclude that while integration may well be a necessary
condition to advance equity, it is not by itself a sufficient condition to ensure it.

Keywords: race, segregation, education, racism, integration, performance expectations
