This an amazing account of Chicago's Logan Square Neighborhood Association using public schools as a cultural center for all members of the family. The program is being piloted as a state model for parent involvement in schools, but Hong does a great job of discussing an important tension that results from taking a local initiative and replicating it in other parts of Illinois.
Based on a radical parent-involvement program in Logan Square:

Of course I think this book is fabulous. I am so fortunate to know one of the protaganists (Nancy Aardema) who is the director of this incredible community organization that is making such difference in the lives of so many children, their families and their community. If you want to see how to really transform schools to meet the needs of at risk inner city kids and communities read this! wow.
