110 Livingston Street: Politics and Bureaucracy in the New York City School System

David Rogers uses competing sociological models of mass society to analyze the New York City school system, which he describes as a sick bureaucracy. In his new prologue, the author discusses the divisive school decentralization crisis of the late 1960s and early 1970s as well as efforts by subsequent mayors to reform the system, including recent changes implemented by the Bloomberg administration.
