As urban education gets lost in debates about the No Child Left Behind Act and high stakes testing, it is rare to get a look at the fate of actual efforts to transform urban schools. The interview with Lisa Delpit extends the work she wrote about in 'Other People's Children' and for that alone educators and policy makers will certainly read the book. In addition, the accounts of actual programs and the problems that researchers and reformers face on a concrete level echo many of the education struggles that I have observed throughout the country over the past few years. What I liked most about this book was the toughness and honesty with which such sensitive issues as conflict, racism, internal inefficiencies in the schools, and the very struggle to keep reform efforts going are documented. 'Racism, Research, and Educational Reform' does not provide a formula or panacea and, while sharing successes, confronts failures as well. It is an important work that all of us who want to fight racism and develop effective schools that succeed should read.
