Stability and Change in American Education

Robert Dreeben is one of the most widely read and influential sociologists of education of the past half-century and the author of several important books-one of which (On What Is Learned in School) was recently republished by Percheron Press. In this volume inspired by Dreeben's work and career, chapters written by Dreeben's colleagues, students, and even one of his mentors present the latest academic research on schools and schooling and examine recent and ongoing school reform policies.
