For America's children, for students, growing up urban has become a
tainted label. By acquiring one simple label, the urban student has
become the other, illegitimate, different from the norm. The urban
student has indeed been bastardized in America. The constructs of
race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and social capital combine to
oppress the urban student. This text takes the suggestion that
urban has become inextricably linked to race one step further and
proposes that it has become a socially constructed category in its
own right that serves to disempower all those who self-identify or
are labeled as such. The structure of this book seeks to give the
reader a series of rich contexts in which to understand how the
American urban student and urban school came to fruition. Through
the use of historical and quantitative data, interviews and
observations, Fisher provides a comprehensive view of the many
factors at play that merge to create the urban high school.
