Abstract

[An afterword to a book about urban education can only be considered yet another foreword. As an unrecognized field of study by dominant culture, urban education is an American family secret. We all know it exists, or at least it should exist, but the grownups do not know what to do with it. Sisyphean attempts by urban educators to create a conversation between the government and teachers are deflected or blocked; publishers are selected to create standardized textbooks and tests.]
