Abstract
ABSTRACT The geography of schools in Mississippi has undergone four phases of change during the past three decades, and there are indications that a fifth phases is in the offing. Through all phases, racial segregation in schools and patterns of resistance to change have been influenced significantly by residential segregation at the local level and by the racial composition of the population at broader scales. The impending fifth phase, which is likely to be a return to some form of dual school system, has been prompted by a movement of white people to private schools and other bold reactions. Such reactions resulted from Federal Government orders to desegregate schools contrary to residential segregation, a most fundamental facet of the spatial structure of the society.
