This book opens up a critical conversation among progressive
educators of various generations, races, perspectives, and social
locations about one specific school reform initiative--charter
schools. Eric Rofes and Lisa M. Stulberg bring together scholars
who both study and actively participate in school choice reform and
charge them to be "bold in their questioning and assertive in their
own ambivalence" about this complex, racially charged public issue.
The editors argue that unlike school vouchers, charter school
reform during its first decade illustrates that these institutions
can play a powerful role in reviving participation in public
education, expanding opportunities for progressive methods in
public school classrooms, and providing new energy to
community-based, community-controlled school initiatives. The
result is a groundbreaking volume that pushes boundaries, questions
assumptions, and rocks foundations of progressive thought.
