Education Reform and Gentrification in the Age of #CamdenRising:
Public Education and Urban Redevelopment in Camden, NJ examines the
perceptions and interpretations of Camden-a New Jersey community
whose population is predominately minority, historically
impoverished, and rapidly employing neoliberal strategies in public
education and urban redevelopment. Using the framework of
standpoint theory as a lens to alternatively view change and
"progress" in Camden (dubbed by city officials as #CamdenRising),
this book highlights the views of Camden residents who hold little
sociopolitical capital yet are profoundly impacted by the city's
efforts in employing neoliberal approaches within urban development
and public education. This book will center current and future
resident viewpoints on living in a city whose leadership employs
neoliberal tactics in redevelopment and in rebranding public
education. Participants in this work reported feelings of political
alienation pertaining to participation in redevelopment and public
education decision-making. Further, participants also believe such
recent efforts for change in Camden are intended to benefit a
targeted, potentially gentrifying, population and not the majority
low-income minorities who currently reside there.
