Moved to Action<br />

Participation, and<br />
Inequality in<br />
American Politics<br />
Hahrie C. Han<br />
“Few issues in American politics<br />
are as important as political<br />
inequality. In this fresh, compelling<br />
book, rising star Hahrie Han<br />
shows how we can increase political<br />
participation and reduce<br />
inequality by fostering issue interests<br />
through group memberships,<br />
especially among lower<br />
SES individuals. A new mustread<br />
in political participation.”<br />

Public Engagement<br />
for Public<br />
Education<br />
Joining Forces to<br />
Revitalize Democracy<br />
and Equalize Schools<br />
Edited by Marion Orr<br />
and John Rogers<br />
This book speaks to the potential<br />
for students, parents, community<br />
members, and civic<br />
leaders to join forces and create<br />
more equitable schooling.<br />
Such engagement can expand<br />
access to quality educational<br />
pathways which in turn paves<br />
the way to a stronger voice in<br />
society and the promise of the<br />
American dream. The book argues<br />
that nothing less than the<br />
health of American democracy<br />
is at stake if certain segments<br />
of society are blocked<br />
access to those pathways.<br />
“This book adds critical insight<br />
on the ways parents and community<br />
members can and must<br />
work together to demand<br />
schools that provide a quality<br />
education for every child.”<br />

Framing Equal<br />
Opportunity<br />
Law and the Politics<br />
of School Finance<br />
Reform<br />
Michael Paris<br />
“This remarkable book shows us<br />
how reform lawyers can create<br />
political options and opportunities<br />
through argument and<br />
the very language of law. The<br />
result opens up the black box<br />
of legal mobilization in a way<br />
that few studies do. Here is a<br />
robust new perspective on the<br />
relationship between law and<br />
politics.”<br />
—Douglas Reed,<br />

“Paris adds considerably to the<br />
debate about the impact of<br />
courts on social policy. His<br />
book replaces the simple ‘can<br />
courts effect social change?’<br />
question with a much more<br />
nuanced examination of the<br />
roles of courts and lawyers in<br />
mobilizing support for social<br />
change. I have not come across<br />
such a beautifully written piece<br />
in quite some time.”<br />
