Power in Our Hands

"This books main contribution, and it is a valuable one, is to illuminate some of the specific organizational and strategic hurdles that lie in the way of a universal, government-supported child care system. Many commentators have lamented the United States failure to establish such a system, and indeed, as noted above, the first part of the book is mainly a synthesis of the substantial literature examining child care policy both outside and inside the U.S....the authors are able to offer a remarkably fine-grained critique of current advocacy efforts, along with very specific recommendations for change." ~Law and Politics Book Review

"Palley and Shadaimah have produced an excellent mixed methods study on the state of child-care policy in the US.This excellent book will help readers understand a difficult problem and serve as a call to arms for change." ~Choice
