Summary

An in-depth case study of two Head Start centers, this thought-provoking book offers a much needed and long overdue analysis of the struggle over power, knowledge, and resources that surround Project Head Start. Author Peggy A. Sissel reveals Project Head Start as being shaped by contested issues in authority, competency, and ethics. In the course of her analysis, she raises concerns about the program's ability to meet the needs of the participating families, and about the principles upon which the program is constructed. Bibliography. Index.
