Description: "This book examines the shifting terrain of educational policy and why now, more than ever, we must bring equity back to the center of educational reform. Drawn from recent empirical studies of critical issues in education policy, well-known scholars present new analyses of the current status of past reforms. They also examine historical, economic, and political conditions that generate inequalities in educational opportunity."--Jacket.
