This book explores a range of issues related to minority educational leaders' role in their society, in particular those working in a divided society under conflict.

The political and cultural challenges faced by minorities in divided societies raise the specific and important need to study leadership from a new perspective, based on the leaders' role in their society and community, and on their role in leveraging their school toward integration in their society while staying aligned with environmental changes.

The authors explore challenges and practices in a divided society from the leader's perspective, exploring the context and complexities leaders navigate, and how these are involved in processes outside of the school. They offer a new theoretical framework of "leadership for society" with practical implications for effective leadership in complex societies. The book also develops our understanding of minority education in the reality of conflicts between the state and the minority's identity. The authors believe that school leaders' participation in the extended community will improve and affect the development of schools and enable negotiating the cultural, social and political complexities.
