Reviews

“Vulnerable people deserve the attention of scholars. In this manuscript, Palmadessa and her colleagues offer us analyses based on the fundamental premise that education may still be a source for creating equity among all people. They provide social and historical analyses of education as an institution that can be steadfastly embedded as a virtuous American institution. Their uncompromising commitment to the moral conviction that education may work to realize the “American Dream” for all and alter entrenched social vulnerability make this book an essential read for any scholar of social justice and education.” -Paul Leslie, Ph.D., Professor of Sociology and Chief Academic Officer, Emeritus, Greensboro College, North Carolina, USA
