Resumo
A educação é um instrumento importante na prossecução do sonho americano, relacionado com a mobilidade social e económica ascendente nos Estados Unidos; Durante mais de cem anos, os imigrantes e as suas famílias mudaram-se para o Bronx para o conseguir, aproveitando a educação gratuita que o sistema escolar público implica, desde a chegada de imigrantes do sul da Europa e da Europa de Leste na viragem do século XIX e início do século XX, até à presença atual de imigrantes latino-americanos, caribenhos e africanos. Este artigo utiliza entrevistas de história oral do Bronx Jewish History Project para estabelecer a situação da educação no Bronx, desde meados do século XX até aos dias de hoje. Ao fazê-lo, conclui que os recursos públicos precisam de ser realocados para programas de formação de professores e de melhoria da educação, com o objectivo de superar a crescente segregação e dar às novas gerações de imigrantes as oportunidades necessárias para perseguir o sonho americano no século XXI.
