Social Justice Education makes four very important contributions to this conversation. First, the book helps us quantify and understand the size and dimension of the equity gaps in higher education by tracking 10 specific student groups from historically underserved communities. Second, the book summarizes best practices research and literature with regard to pedagogy, services, programs, and leadership in community colleges, presenting practical strategies for implementation. Third, through a national survey of community college personnel, the book covers significant new territory in the discussion of work we need to do collaboratively as community colleges.

In this arena, community college should lead"-- |
