The book uses Chicago as a case study to examine the cultural
politics surrounding neoliberal education policy in general and the
concomitant alterations to democratic practice in particular. After
juxtaposing the numerous failures of neoliberal education policy
and the language of democratic norms used by those who continually
double-down on these same policies, it examines four distinct but
related policy arenas. Each chapter begins with a vignette of a
particular example of the neoliberal education policy in action.
Taken together, Taylor illuminates the anti-democratic nature of
neoliberal education policy and the toll it takes on democratic
practice in urban space. The book concludes with a discussion of
what resistance might look like in spaces which co-opt democratic
concepts for anti-democratic ends.
