MELISSA F. WEINER is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the College of the Holy Cross.
"Just when you thought there was nothing left to say about race and
American education, Melissa F. Weiner comes along to prove you
wrong. By comparing Black and Jewish protesters in New York City,
Weiner sheds new light upon both groups, and, best of all, upon the
shadowy racial politics of twentieth-century schools."
*professor of education & history, New York University*
"The power of parent organizing as a means to reform schools and
make them more responsive to the communities they serve has been
underappreciated largely because the history of past efforts has
not been well documented. With this detailed account of the
experience of Black and Jewish parents in New York City, Weiner has
provided new and profound insights into how and why parents can be
a tremendous resource for educational change."
*Steinhardt School, NYU, and author of The Trouble with Black Boys:
And Other Ref*
"Weiner's book documents an important and heartbreaking history and
offers some hard lessons for activists today. Highly
recommended."
