Publisher Synopsis
"Realizing Educational Rights is an important book. It breaks new ground in the manner in which it weds theory and practice. Anne Newman lucidly puts into perspective the major writings on rights, deliberative democracy, judicial review, and social reform-advancing thinking in each of these areas-and also develops an important conceptual framework that bridges the world of academic scholarship, legal analysis, and community organizing." (Michael A. Rebell, author of Courts and Kids)" Read more...
