Reviews

In a well-researched study of the relationship between urban poverty and quality of education, the author has compared approaches to effective education among the urban poor in the United States, and students in Cuba.... His detailed discussion of the Cuban Literacy Campaign and of effective inner-city U.S. schools underscores the necessity of translating techniques that make the few succeed into strategies to benefit the many. Highly recommended.-Library Journal
