You don't have to live in North Carolina to consider reading this book. This is a true story of a community pulled apart by a local government and its control of their civic liberties. The cover reveals the immensity of the problem in Wake County, currently the nation's fourth largest school system. This collection of communities is divided into 700 Orwellian nodes to be mixed, matched and reassigned across 400 square miles. The book details what that means in human terms; families and neighbors who awake one morning to find the government sitting in the living room. This book is especially recommended for those considering relocation to Wake County, home of Cary,'Best City in America 2007'. You should know Wake County's big secret before you move here. Anyone interested in the cause and effect of inefficiencies on escalating property taxes will also find this book enormously informative.

One of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas, Wake County, North Carolina, added more than a quarter million new residents during the first decade of this century, an increase of almost 45 percent. At the same time, partisanship increasingly dominated local politics, including school board races. Against this backdrop, Toby Parcel and Andrew Taylor consider the ways diversity and neighborhood schools have influenced school assignment policies in Wake County, particularly during 2000-2012, when these policies became controversial locally and a topic of national attention. The End of Consensus explores the extraordinary transformation of Wake County during this period, revealing inextricable links between population growth, political ideology, and controversial K–12 education policies. Drawing on media coverage, in-depth interviews with community leaders, and responses from focus groups, Parcel and Taylor's innovative work combines insights from these sources with findings from a survey of 1,700 county residents. Using a broad range of materials and methods, the authors have produced the definitive story of politics and change in public school assignments in Wake County while demonstrating the importance of these dynamics to cities across the country.
