This book examines disproportionality in education, focusing on
issues of social justice for diverse and marginalized students. It
addresses disproportionality as an indicator of biased practices
and uses social justice as the frame for conceptualizing
disproportionality historically and as a means to improve
educational practice. Chapters explore the historical issue of
disproportionality in education; outcomes experienced by racially
and ethnically diverse students and students with disabilities,
including discipline, bullying, and academic achievement; and ways
in which social justice can inform policy and practice to make a
positive impact reducing disproportionality in education. Key areas
of coverage include: Methodological and statistical concerns in
disproportionality research in education. Reviews research and data
on disproportionality in education (e.g., disciplinary exclusion,
bullying, seclusion and restraint, corporal punishment,
school-based arrests, and academic achievement). Social justice as
a theoretical and legal driver for change in policy and practice.
Educational assessment and intervention practices designed to
address disproportionality in education. Disproportionality and
Social Justice in Education is a must-have resource for
researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as
clinicians, practitioners, and policymakers across such disciplines
as clinical child and school psychology, educational psychology and
teaching and teacher education, social work and counselling,
pediatrics and school nursing, educational policy and politics,
public health, and all interrelated disciplines.

In 1948, in a Greek mountain village, Eleni Gatzoyiannis was arrested, tortured and shot. Her crime had been to help her children to escape from the Communist guerrillas during the Greek civil war who were abducting children and sending them to camps behind the Iron Curtain. Her son, Nicholas Gage, was then eight years old. Eventually he reached America and joined his father who was working there and sending money back to his family. In America Gage grew up to become one of The New York Times’ best investigative reporters. He returned to Greece in 1977 as a Times correspondent and, gradually but increasingly obsessively, he began to reconstruct his mother’s life and death. By the time he was finished he was ready to confront both his mother’s executioners and his own memories. Eleni, an intensely moving and compelling book, is the fruit of his search for the truth.
