Realizing Educational Rights is an important book. It breaks new ground in the manner in which it weds theory and practice. Anne Newman reconciles 'rights talk' and participatory democracy by demonstrating through concrete examples of court cases and community activism how the language of 'rights' can help provide students specific skills in areas like voting and free expression--which they need if they are to function productively as civic participants. She lucidly puts into perspective the major writings on rights, deliberative democracy, judicial review, and social reform--advancing thinking in each of these areas--and also develops an important conceptual framework that bridges the world of academic scholarship, legal analysis, and community organizing. --Michael A. Rebell, author of Courts and Kids
