In an effort to redefine public administration in the context of social equity and inclusion, the editor of "Street-Level Public Servants," Sara R. Rinfret, and the authors embark on an exploration of transformation.The book is comprised of 11 insightful chapters that analyze the challenges and opportunities related to incorporating liberatory approaches into the field of public administration, promoting diversity, and reinstating the voices of the marginalized.It is distinct from the author's other publications.In contrast to "Public Policy: A Concise Introduction," which primarily covers policy-making processes and theoretical aspects of public policy, "Street-Level Public Servants" delves into the pragmatic obstacles and prospects associated with the implementation of policies that foster diversity and equity.Moreover, "Street-Level Public Servants" expands the subject matter to encompass a more extensive array of public servants and concerns, placing significant emphasis on the necessity of a liberatory framework to redefine public administration, whereas "The Lilliputians of Environmental Regulation" precisely examines state regulators involved in environmental policy.Sara R. Rinfret commences by presenting the notion of Lilliberation, a liberatory framework that seeks to complement the perspectives and real-life experiences of marginalized communities in public administration, including, but not limited to women, Black people, indigenous peoples, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals.
