Abstract
Our dilemma: How do we tell the story of a community-wide change initiative where political intrigue, personal stories of activism and struggle, successes and ultimate failures of similar initiatives weave together into a complex tale? This special issue is our first attempt to do so. But this issue represents an academic version; we still have much work to do to tell the community residents’ story. The story we tell in this issue begins at a presentation at the editors’ graduate school of education on what we now call the Community for the Children of Lakeview (CCL). Larson realized with excitement that doing an ethnography of this initiative would be an incredible opportunity to both deeply understand urban community efforts at transformation generally and to document that effort for the community itself more specifically. At another administrative meeting with the city school leader of the initiative, she made an immediate connection with that leader. Julie, 1
