The authors persuasively argue that the present cascade of reforms
to public education is a consequence of a larger intention to
shrink government. The startling result is that more of public
education's assets and resources are moving to the private sector
and to the prison industrial complex. Drawing on various forms of
evidence-structural, economic, narrative, and youth-generated
participatory research-the authors reveal new structures and
circuits of dispossession and privilege that amount to a clear
failure of present policy. Policymaking is at war with the
interests of the vast majority of citizens, and especially with
urban youth of color. In the final chapter the authors explore
democratic principles and offer examples essential to mobilizing,
in solidarity with educators, youth, communities, labor, and allied
social movements, the kind of power necessary to contest the
present direction of public education reform.
