This timely, readable text offers an authoritative and balanced
analysis of how racially driven policies in America impact post
release education as a leading pathway to social reintegration.
Compelling research findings from an assemblage of college faculty,
seasoned administrators, and criminal justice professionals are
interwoven with first-person narratives from formerly incarcerated
individuals. This book takes full advantage of its
interdisciplinary mixture of voices and positionality to build its
argument upon a three-part framework from Critical Race Theory
(CRT). It convincingly utilizes the tools of academic research,
counterstories, and counterspaces to make a persuasive case that
the intersection of race, the criminal justice system, and
education represent one of the greatest civil rights issues of our
time. Part 1, “Context, Critical Race Theory and College
Re-Entry,” explores the historical and current dynamics of these
uniquely American intersections while linking Critical Race Theory
with the field of re-entry and offering serious analysis of post
incarceration and education initiatives. Interest convergence,
white privilege, and writing from returning citizens as a way of
“coming to voice” are also explored in this section. Part 2,
“Counterstories,” offers case, comparative case, and
phenomenological studies that include embedded quotations with
first-person narratives contributed from formerly incarcerated
students and graduates. This section also includes an honest and
gripping analytic auto-ethnography from the book’s co-editor who
readily reveals his experiences as both a faculty member and
formerly incarcerated individual. Other highlighted topics include
the issues of stigma, overcoming obstacles in the classroom, and
the unique problems for returning citizens when acclimating to
college culture. Combining qualitative research and descriptions of
successful programs Part 3,“Counterspaces,” explores the
dynamics of creating places within programs and classrooms that
support physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual engagement
for and with the formerly incarcerated through learner-centered,
culturally sensitive, and racially explicit pedagogy. This book is
designed to be a most welcome addition to any serious academic
discussion focusing upon institutionalized racism and education’s
use as a tool in reversing the mass incarceration of people of
color in America.
