Review Quotes:
'The Politics of Education Policy in an Era of Inequality provides readers an indispensable and easily accessible view of education leadership and policymaking in today's world. This comprehensive education policy primer leaves no stone unturned.'
Chezare Warren, Peabody College of Education and Human Development, Vanderbilt University, USA
'This is a timely text that is much needed during this era of anti-equity politics of education fueled by an orchestrated conservative backlash. Douglass, Scott and Anderson make a convincing case for a more comprehensive critical policy analysis that takes back equity for true social justice along race, gender, LGBTQI identity issues and social class material conditions'
Laurence Parker, University of Utah, USA
"Reconsidering the role that educational leaders play in shaping both education policy and political processes, the book explores the challenges and opportunities related to teaching in and leading schools in today's environment. A marvelous work for those interested in school leadership, educational policy, school reform, or contemporary politics."
