Urban Narratives foregrounds previously silenced voices of young
people of color who are labeled disabled. Overrepresented in
special education classes, yet underrepresented in educational
research, these students - the largest group within segregated
special education classes - share their perceptions of the world
and their place within it. Eight 'portraits in progress' consisting
of their own words and framed by their poetry and drawings, reveal
compelling insights about life inside and out of the American urban
education system. The book uses an intersectional analysis to
examine how power circulates in society throughout and among
historical, cultural, institutional, and interpersonal domains,
impacting social, academic, and economic opportunities for
individuals, and expanding or circumscribing their worlds.
