Summary

Have urban schools failed, or has reform failed urban schools? This book examines existing urban school programs, ranging from desegregation to reading improvement, in light of available historical, empirical, and case study evidence. The contributors probe the underlying theoretical, normative, and political assumptions embedded in specific reform initiatives.
