The Politics of Urban Education.
Gittell, Marilyn, Ed.; Hevesi, Alan G., Ed.
This book is a compilation of readings on the politics of urban education. Topics covered are community power structure, community control, school segregation, decision making in school desegregation, obstacles to desegregation in New York City and leaders in public education. Professionalism and bureaucracy versus community control, critiques of elitest theories of democracy, educational systems in Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, and school governance and reform (the Bundy Plan, and critiques of Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. systems) are also discussed. Finally, the New York Civil Liberties Union report on the Ocean Hill-Brownsville controversy is critically examined. (KG)
