Plasticity of intelligence, education reform, and the disadvantaged child -- Minimal brain dysfunction, ritalin, and racial politics -- The politics of cerebral asymmetry and racial difference -- A racial history of emotional intelligence -- Neuroscience, race, and intelligence after The bell curve.
Summary: "The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision required desegregation of America's schools, but it also set in motion an agonizing multi-decade debate over race, class, and IQ. In this innovative book, Michael E. Staub investigates neuropsychological studies published between Brown and the controversial 1994 book, The Bell Curve. In doing so, he illuminates how we came to view race and intelligence today"-- Provided by publisher.
