While maintaining the provocative edge of the original edition, this second edition brings a clear-headed honesty in assessing how far we have and have not advanced in our leadership preparation programs. To be sure, the problems and possibilities are still in front of us, and the updated research pushes the field of educational leadership forward. I highly recommend the Brown & Shaked second edition as motivation to continue the intense struggles for social justice leadership in and beyond schools.

With the addition of two chapters that update the relevant literature published during the intervening10 years, this second edition of Preparing Future Leaders for Social Justice, Equity, and Excellence: Bridging Theory and Practice through a Transformative Androgogy, written by Brown and Shaked, remains a vitally important read for current and aspiring educational leaders hoping to provide socially just and equitable opportunities for all students.

Preparing Future Leaders for Social Justice should be in every library and used in all preparation courses. Written in highly accessible style, it is both highly theoretical and eminently practical. Covering the what, why, and how of transformative, social justice leadership, the comprehensive coverage of the topic is supported by extensive quotations from former students.
