Scheurich, James Joseph; Imber, Michael
Educational Administration Quarterly, v27 n3 p297-320 Aug 1991
Reports a case study illustrating how one school district's reform efforts replicate the unequal distribution of knowledge, power, and resources by race and class that occurs in society. Discusses three dominant patterns in education organizational change theory (functionalism, culturalism, and critical theory) and suggests more equitable paths to reform. (52 references) (MLH)
