Edwards and Willie demonstrate the efficacy of local community action, but also show how linkage with state, regional, and national agencies helps groups in their efforts to shape educational policy and practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdwards and Willie examine the notion of critical mass and its relationship to community decision making. They also analyze the assets and liabilities of coalition politics. They show that specific population groups dominant in one season, and for selected circumstances, may become subdominant at another time. Such change and flexibility, they assert, is beneficial for the total community, because no one group is able to maintain control indefinitely. Their analysis will be of considerable interest to scholars, policymakers, and administrators dealing with public education issues, as well as to parents and concerned citizens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ralph Edwards,Charles Willie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275962016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275962012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.76h x 5.66w x 0.59d","brand":"Ralph Edwards","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135959871743,"sku":"9780275962012","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31700429-3bde-4380-b06d-d96aa813fccf.jpg?v=1770159584","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/black-powerwhite-power-in-public-ralph-edwards-9780275962012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
