Good in fair dust jacket. Price clipped. DJ has some wear and soiling, edge tears and chips. Paperclip mark to some pages. Some endpaper discoloration. xiii, 704 p. 25 cm. Maps. References. Index. Civil rights, 1960's Mississippi, racism, classism, a huge grassroots Head Start Project (black people vs. the U.S. government), unique education for low-income children (in inspiring detail), social change (rapid reform, the author calls it). A sunken treasure, published in the 60's by Macmillan & out of print for 15 years, a remarkable piece of history rescued. Can be read as 1. the ignored chapter in 60's Mississippi civil rights history when protest became program & black people were finally freed from financial slavery (it is a detailed documentation), 2. a seminal report of a successful model for the development of poor children & their parents, 3. an enormously stirring personal account of inner & professional growth. Polly Greenberg, an extraordinary woman, was one of a trio who conceptualized & actualized CDGM. She then left OEO, where she was an original War on Poverty & Head Start staff member, & took her four small children to live amid burnings & bullets, while she served as CDGM's Director of Staff Development & Program for Children for two years. The book is written from the trenches, by a "war correspondent. " Reviewers in 1969 said, "beautifully written", "raw power", "deep educational & psychological insight", "brilliant", blueprint for change. " Now has four new chapters assessing CDGM's accomplishments as a significant social change agent.
