Zusammenfassung:Controversial claims are being debated about school choice and the application of market dynamics to education. But the polemics have out-paced hard evidence regarding who participates in school choice experiments and what effects are felt by parents, children, and schools. Who Chooses? Who Loses?: Culture Institutions, and the Unequal Effects of School Choice reports and analyzes the most recent data available on choice programs nationwide - ranging from such diverse cities as Milwaukee, St. Louis, Detroit, and San Antonio. The important issues involved in school choice - such as the short- and long-term effects on students, minority student views, vouchers, magnets, and private school programs overseas - are clearly capsulized and explored
This valuable work, the newest addition to the Sociology of Education Series, is of great import as a supplemental text in graduate courses in educational policy, administration, applied social research, and foundations, especially sociology of education; and is also of interest to policy makers, educational researchers, other professionals, parents, and those interested in getting to the core of the school choice debate
