In the struggle to ensure that schools receive their fair share of
financial and educational resources, reformers translate policy
goals into legal claims in a number of different ways. This
enlightening new work uncovers the options reformers have in
framing legal challenges and how the choices they make affect
politics and policy beyond the courtroom.
Focusing on two of the most controversial and far-reaching court
decisions in the nation in school finance and education reform,
"Framing Equal Opportunity" follows lawyers and activists in New
Jersey and Kentucky as they negotiate the complicated political
terrain of educational change in their respective states. Unlike
other books on law and reform, this work emphasizes the importance
of legal translation--the process through which reformers transform
their visions and goals into plausible legal claims. As it reveals,
the kinds of arguments lawyers choose to make matter not only to
their success in the courtroom, but also to the nature of the
political fights they face in the community at large.

During the Great War, books and stories for young men were
frequently used as unofficial propaganda for recruitment and to
sell the war to British youth as a moral crusade. Until now, this
literature has been neglected by academics, but the image of the
war these fictions created was remarkably enduring and, despite the
appearance of post-war literature of disillusioned veterans,
continued to shape the attitudes of the young well into the 1930s.
This is the first detailed account of how adventure fiction
represented the Great War for British boys between 1914 and the end
of the war. Paris examines how such literature explained the causes
of the war to boys and girls and how it encouraged young men to
participate in the noble crusade on the Western Front and in other
theaters. He explores the imagery of the trenches, the war in the
air, and the nature of war in the Middle East and Africa. He also
details the links between popular writers and the official literary
propaganda campaign. The study concludes by looking at how these
heroic images remained in print, enduring well into the inter-war
years.
