A volume in Educational Leadership for Social JusticeSeries Editor Jeffrey S. Brooks, Auburn UniversityThis is the first chronicle of the history of social justice as a line of inquiry within the field ofeducational administration. Editors Tooms and Boske have amassed a collective voice of leaders in the fieldof Educational Administration who have broken barriers and expanded the field through their own work andscholarship within a national and international arena. Many of these narratives are the first time tellings ofthe challenges and successes found in the works of this group of scholars of historic significance.This collection is written and organized into practical and easy to digest sections. They are parthistory lesson, and part practical teaching tool for those who prepare school leaders. Anyone from schoolleaders to academics interested or charged with unpacking the messy intersections between school leadership and issues of social justice will findinspiration and easy to understand explanations of leadership and equity work within the chapters presented.Endorsement: 'Bridge Leadership is a powerful and fascinating new volume that explores the intersections of social justice and educational leadership.What distinguishes it from other social justice work is that it is much more personal than most such texts. Many of the book’s authors share poignantexcerpts of their life stories and connect them to the theoretical constructs, historical events, and political struggles of social justice. Theforegrounding of these personal stories and the bridges they create with social justice gives the volume a raw power not found in other social justiceworks. I could not put the volume down!'Ulrich C. Reitzug, University of North Carolina,Greensboro
