This volume contains the culmination of the efforts of many scholars and represents the history, as well as the ongoing legacy, of one of the most vital areas in the realm of education research and practice: Families, Schools and Communities. As its editors, we are indebted to those colleagues who agreed to contribute and helped us shape this collection. We would like to dedicate this handbook to them and to the mentors we have had in our academic careers, whose vision created the unique space within which we place our professional lives. We also hold deep gratitude to our own families and their significant patience and unceasing support for our meaningful projects and labors of love, such as this one.
