Their presence can bring long-needed material resources to such schools. The author shows that it can also introduce new class and race tensions, and even exacerbate inequalities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Posey-Maddox's book makes an original contribution that is important to current conversations about urban schools. The question of what role middle-class families can\/should play in urban school reform is a pressing one, and her research raises a series of questions that I have not seen raised elsewhere as clearly or directly. It captures key dimensions of how cities are changing and the impact those changes are having on our most important institutions.\" (Amanda E.
