As compared to City Schools 1, this volume deepens examinations of how various contexts – social, historical, economic, and political – shape urban communities and schools. Drawing on real-life examples throughout the book, the authors illustrate what can be learned from past and present efforts to improve city schools. As its title suggests, City Schools 2 is ultimately hopeful. It confirms “the enduring promise of public education” while offering clear-eyed analyses of obstacles to this promise.
