Leading in the Belly of the Beast is an anthology of essays from
transformational school leaders around the country who lead in a
school system that is not set up for the success of their students,
namely students of color and students living in poverty. The book
highlights leaders who begin from the premise that the institution
of school/system of education in the United States, since its
inception, has been established to maintain the racial, cultural,
and economic status quo - and to maintain divisions among these
racial, cultural, and class groups. These leaders use this very
assertion as a foundation for their transformational leadership
from within the system. Leading in the Belly of the Beast includes
the voices of nine educators in a variety of positions of school
leadership, from principals and deans to teacher leaders. The
unifying experience of these leaders is that they all currently
work in the context of a school and, therefore, have authentic and
fresh experiences and expertise to share. The goal of Leading in
the Belly of the Beast is to emphasize the need to understand that
our current system of education as not broken but as functioning to
achieve exactly the results it was designed to achieve, and then to
demonstrate why and how transformative leaders can and must achieve
different results for students of color and students living in
poverty, even while operating in the "belly of the beast".
