O knihe

A volume in Educational Leadership for Social Justice
Series Editor Jeffrey S. Brooks, Auburn University
This is the first chronicle of the history of social justice as a line of inquiry within the field of
educational administration. Editors Tooms and Boske have amassed a collective voice of leaders in the field
of Educational Administration who have broken barriers and expanded the field through their own work and
scholarship within a national and international arena. Many of these narratives are the first time tellings of
the challenges and successes found in the works of this group of scholars of historic significance.
This collection is written and organized into practical and easy to digest sections. They are part
history lesson, and part practical teaching tool for those who prepare school leaders. Anyone from school
leaders to academics interested or charged with unpacking the messy intersections between school leadership and issues of social justice will find
inspiration and easy to understand explanations of leadership and equity work within the chapters presented.
Endorsement: "Bridge Leadership is a powerful and fascinating new volume that explores the intersections of social justice and educational leadership.
What distinguishes it from other social justice work is that it is much more personal than most such texts. Many of the book's authors share poignant
excerpts of their life stories and connect them to the theoretical constructs, historical events, and political struggles of social justice. The
foregrounding of these personal stories and the bridges they create with social justice gives the volume a raw power not found in other social justice
works. I could not put the volume down!"
