While maintaining the provocative edge of the original edition, this second edition brings a clear-headed honesty in assessing how far we have and have not advanced in our leadership preparation programs. To be sure, the problems and possibilities are still in front of us, and the updated research pushes the field of educational leadership forward. I highly recommend the Brown & Shaked second edition as motivation to continue the intense struggles for social justice leadership in and beyond schools.
