%X This paper presents a critical review of the book, The Politics of Education Policy in an Era of Inequality: Possibilities for Democratic Schooling authored by [1]. It explores the major themes and implications for educational leadership, policy, and global equity. Using Critical Policy Analysis (CPA), Critical Race Theory (CRT), and Community Cultural Wealth (CCW) as guiding frameworks, the review analyzes how the authors exposed the political nature of education policy and proposed democratic, justice-oriented approaches to reform. This review highlights the book¡¯s contributions to leadership practice, policy development, and decolonial perspectives in education. Interwoven with personal reflections, the review connects these ideas to a broader understanding of leadership as moral, relational, and transformative work. It further emphasizes that education policy and leadership must center on equity, collaboration, and human dignity to advance inclusive and democratic schooling worldwide.
