'Critical Perspectives on Project Head Start: Revisioning the Hope and Challenge,' edited by Jeanne Ellsworth and Lynda Ames. Book Review.

Describes Ellsworth and Ames' edited book as an eclectic collection including historical, ethnographic, autobiographical, empirical, and self-reflective texts. Maintains that although the book is an important contribution to the literature by placing current practices into historical and social context, thereby leading to a more critical view of the revered program, the work omits an economic view.
