"The Life and Death of a Rural American High School: Farewell Little Kanawha," by Alan DeYoung. Book Review.
Cuban, Larry
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v11 n2 p121-24 Fall 1995
Reviews a book about the history of a small rural school in Braxton County, West Virginia. Argues that consolidation and eventual closure of this school resulted from political, economic, social, and cultural forces that failed to recognize the important relationship between the school and the community. Reflects on the reviewer's own previous assumptions about consolidation benefits. (LP)
