Examines school systems in four major US cities - Boston, Denver, Los Angeles, and San Francisco - to uncover the factors that worked for and against ethnically-representative school change. This book utilizes the politics of education reform to provide empirical scholarship about the broader contemporary politics of race and ethnicity.

Using Robert Reich's "The Work of Nations" as a springboard, the text argues that globalism coupled with disparities of wealth and power, changes the work of nations and the role of communities. It examines local entrepreneurial policy choices in the context of economic and political restructuring.
