The contents of this book are organized into seven chapters. Chapter 1 discusses methods for organizing schools and communities. It deals with three alternative models for the schools: administrative decentralization, community participation, and community control. It also examines three alternative models for the community: social planning, locality development, and social action. Chapter 2 is divided into three parts. First we explore some of the misguided notions and assumptions about community control. Next we analyze the effects of governmental regulations on school and community organizations. Then we discuss community action programs. Chapter 3 reviews research on administrative-community school plans. Chapter 4 attempts to analyze some of the implications of the growing trend to create a black perspective in social science research. Chapter 5 first explores the rise of black nationalism and the accompanying decline of integrationist sentiments among many blacks. Next it explores briefly the relationship between race and crime, especially that between black nationalism and the use of violence as a political tactic. Chapter 6 discusses the overlooked majority, that is, white members of the working and middle classes, and the rise of ethnicity. Chapter 7 describes the rich. (Author/JM)
