title = "Education and Democratic Theory: Finding a Place for Community Participation in Public School Reform",
abstract = "Much has been made of the gap between public schools and the communities that they serve. This book shows how a group of teachers, parents, and community people in {"}Ed City{"} formed an educational reform group—the Project for Educational Democracy—to increase access to decision making in their school system, especially for members of the community who had previously been excluded. A combination of ethnographic research and theoretical reflection, this book addresses concepts of community, authority, representation, participation, and democracy.",
