Foundations of Education: Essential Texts and New Directions helps
aspiring teachers interpret the craft of teaching within the
historical, philosophical, cultural, and social contexts of
education, inside and outside of schools. As a traditional social
foundations reader, it focuses on the origins of the social
foundations' disciplines, but it also includes contemporary pieces
that directly impact students' lives today. Through these carefully
curated readings, students will grasp the complexity and connection
between contemporary issues in education. Part I contains
"essential texts," selections from works widely regarded as central
to the development of the field, which lay the basis of further
study for any serious student of education. Part II looks at
multidisciplinary directions of current foundations of education
scholarship. An introductory essay by the editors and discussion
questions at the conclusion of the text further highlight the
selections' continued importance and application to today's most
pressing educational issues. By addressing the past, present, and
future of social foundations, this volume contends skillfully with
ever-shifting education policies and school demographics.

Makris and Gatta engage in a rich ethnographic investigation of
Asbury Park to better understand the connection between jobs and
seasonal gentrification and the experiences of longtime residents
in this beach-community city. They demonstrate how the racial
inequality in the founding of Asbury Park is reverberating a
century later. This book tells an important and nuanced tale of
gentrification using an intersectional lens to examine the history
of race relations, the too often overlooked history of the
postindustrial city, the role of the LGBTQ population, barriers to
employment and access to amenities, and the role of developers as
the city rapidly changes. Makris and Gatta draw on in-depth
interviews, focus groups, ethnographic observation, as well as data
analysis to tell the reader a story of life on the West Side of
Asbury Park as the East Side prospers and to point to a potential
path forward.
