Winner of the 2009 Critics Choice Book Award of the American
Educational Studies Association (AESA) Through careful ethnographic
research, Market Movements represents community leaders, school
officials, and most importantly, African American working class
families who have used vouchers as a means of removing their
children from public schools they deemed unacceptable. The book
works to discern the overlaps and tensions between the educational
visions of African American voucher families and those of powerful
conservative educational forces in U.S. society which purport to be
allied with them. To the extent that there are points of divergence
with the educational right, and points of convergence with
educational progressives, this book provides a hopeful message and
a practical vision. It seeks to accomplish some of the critical
empirical and conceptual groundwork that is necessary in order to
renew the increasingly fractious relations between those social
actors-teachers, communities of color, critical researchers, and
labor unions-most likely to defend and expand previous social
democratic victories.
