Abstract
Desegregation is a process through which members of formerly separated groups are brought together, often through the removal of institutional barriers to interaction. Two recurring arguments have been presented in favor of desegregation. The first holds that the process promotes intergroup harmony and tolerance; the second holds that it promotes social justice and equality. Present in the earliest work in the field, these arguments continue to set the agenda for future research, inspiring recent debates, developments, and controversies.
