Rury, professor of education and (by courtesy) history, and Shirley A. Hill, professor of sociology, both at the University of Kansas New Edition NEW Best Seller “Sets a new standard of excellence in social history and policy studies. The authors evocatively recreate the passions of the civil rights movement and centrality of public schools in the ongoing quest for justice, opportunity, and freedom.” —William J. Reese, University of Wisconsin–Madison “This is a rich and compelling addition to the literature on secondary education generally and on secondary education for African Americans specifically. It will set the standard for historical studies on American high schools for a long time to come.” —Jeffrey Mirel, University of Michigan “This book will be on my shelf and will no doubt be on the shelves of scholars and students who study African American educational history.” —Thomas V. O’Brien, University of Southern Mississippi “This is the only book-length account of the growth and impact of secondary education for African Americans post-1930. It is a unique and original analysis.” —Michael Fultz, University of Wisconsin–Madison This is the first comprehensive account of African American secondary education in the postwar era. Drawing on quantitative datasets, as well as oral history, this compelling narrative examines how African Americans narrowed the racial gap in high school completion. The authors explore regional variations in high school attendance across the United States and how intraracial factors affected attendance within racial groups. They also examine the larger social historical context, such as the national high school revolution, the civil rights movement, campaigns to expand schooling and urging youth to stay in school, and Black migration northward. Closing chapters focus on desegregation and the “urban crisis” of the 1960s and 1970s that accelerated “White flight” and funding problems for urban school systems. Audience: Teachers, school administrators, policymakers, historians, and politicians; courses in history of education, sociology of education, African American studies, Southern history, American history, politics and education, and multicultural education. 2011/272 pp./PB, $36.95/5277-7/HC, $78/5278-4 Educational Studies New Edition • 2005 AESA Critics’ Choice Award • 2003 Gold Book of the Year Award in Education, ForeWord Magazine City Schools and the American Dream Reclaiming the Promise of Public Education Pedro Noguera “This book will prove useful to anyone interested in and perplexed by how to reform urban public schools in this country.” —Harvard Educational Review “This well-researched and well-written book NEW Best Seller should be on every American educator’s reading list.” —VOYA “A gem of a book.” —Journal of Educational Change 2003/208 pp./PB, $23.95/4381-2 Multicultural Education Series New Edition 1998 AESA Critics’ Choice Award The Long Haul An Autobiography Myles Horton with Judith Kohl and Herbert Kohl “Were I to choose America’s most influential and inspiring educator, it would be Myles Horton of Highlander.” —Studs Terkel “Horton’s . . . story is an entire American Studies sequence in political courage.” —The New York Times In his own direct, modest, plain-spoken style, Myles Horton tells the story of the Highlander Folk School.

2010 Choice Outstanding Academic Title • 2009 Notable Education Book, American School Board Journal Wounded by School Recapturing the Joy in Learning and Standing Up to Old School Culture Kirsten Olson Forewords by Sara Lawrence- Lightfoot and Parker J. Palmer “This important book is filled with resources and specific ideas for reclaiming joy in learning.... Highly recommended.” —Choice “Kirsten Olson has written a book that is at once intellectually engaging and replete with usable resources and proposals for action.... May this splendid book be read, discussed, taken to heart, and put into action.” —From the Foreword by Parker J.
