Social Composition of Boards of Education; a Study in the Social Control of Public Education

Counts's seminal work on the social composition of education boards is as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1932. Drawing on years of research in various communities across the United States, Counts demonstrates how the makeup of education boards reflects and reinforces existing power structures and social hierarchies. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the politics of education and the struggle for social justice.
