This book critically examines how the narrative of global economic
competition was used to rationalize college preparatory curriculum
for all high school students and promote charter schools in
Detroit. Using mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, the
study identifies neighborhood risk factors undermining students'
academic success, along with the positive effects of churches and
service centers as mitigating forces. The authors focus on a range
of topics and issues including market competition, urban decline,
community resources, testing and accountability, smaller schools,
and engaged learning. The volume illustrates how action studies by
engaged scholars working with community activists empowers students
to overcome emerging barriers.
