Table of ContentsReviewsProfessor Tate is to be congratulated for emphasizing the role geography and location can play in research on schools. Issues of racial segregation and inequality are at the forefront here, grounded in theoretical scholarship on place and methodological work on how learning takes place. Issues of health, immigration, culture, and college readiness are studied in a spatially sensitive manner, emphasizing that schools are not isolated islands but offer greater or lesser opportunities depending on where they are located. The book should be required reading for anyone interested in schools, neighborhoods, or communities. -- Denton, Nancy A. In Research on Schools, Neighborhoods, and Communities we hear from leading research scientists who study urban education conceived broadly. The findings and perspectives reported herein inform with respect to the status of urban education and also with respect to what education in an urban nation should and can become. This is an important reference. -- Gordon, Edward W. Author InformationWilliam F.
