''The Rise and Fall of an Urban School System: Detroit, 1907-1981'' is a 1993 nonfiction book by Jeffrey Mirel, published by the University of Michigan Press. It discusses the rise and decline of Detroit Public Schools (DPS) in the 20th century, with the book's discussion focusing on the 1920s, the zenith of DPS, through the 1980s. Mirel argued that the Great Depression, various trends related to racial tensions stemming from the 1954-1968 African-American Civil Rights Movement,〔Kantor, p. 754. The paragraph where Kantor analyzes Mirel's argument begins with "By locating the origins of urban decline in the 1930s," and see: "Indeed, because restructuring links between blacks and the schools meant altering the forms of school decision making and organization (including the neighborhood school) on which the Progressive consensus was based, not, as Mirel suggests, because black demands undermined the quality of urban education()"〕 the development of new suburbia, and other factors were primarily responsible for the decline of DPS;〔Zilversmit, p. 1406.〕 the conflicts between blacks and whites and between labor and management eroded the consensus reached during the Progressive Era that schools should receive ample financing.〔 They were forces that a school superintendent or a school board would not be able to overcome.〔 Daniel Perlstein of the University of California at Berkeley wrote that the book "thus demonstrates how historical scholarship on the decline of urban school systems can illuminate the relationship of critical educational issues to the broader political questions troubling America."〔Perlstein, p. 80.〕 In 1999 the book's second edition was published.〔"(The Rise and Fall of an Urban School System )" ((Archive )).
