The revised edition of A Different View of Urban Schools updates a
unique story about the realities of urban education in America and
provides new insights on the origin of urban education issues; the route
to a diverse and effective teaching force; and the impact of federal
legislation and corporate involvement on urban schools. Dr. Epstein's
analysis of problems is fascinating; her program for the creation of
joyful engaging education is equally impressive. The result is a new
perspective on what educational reform requires in American cities. This
book will be useful to teachers, policy makers, school board members,
and parents as well as in classes in multicultural education, ethnic
studies, and the social foundations of education.
