Within critical discussions of school reform, researchers and
activists are often of two camps. Some focus their analyses on
neoliberal economic agendas, while others center on racial
inequality. These analyses often happen in isolation, continuing to
divide those concerned with educational justice into "It's race!"
vs. "It's class!" camps. What's Race Got To Do With It? brings
together these frameworks to investigate the role that race plays
in hallmark policies of neoliberal school reforms such as school
closings, high-stakes testing, and charter school proliferation.
The group of scholar activist authors in this volume were selected
because of their cutting-edge racial economic analysis,
understanding of corporate reform, and involvement in grassroots
social movements. Each author applies a racial economic framework
to inform and complicate our analysis of how market-based reforms
collectively increase wealth inequality and maintain White
supremacy. In accessible language, contributors trace the
historical context of a single reform, examine how that reform
maintains and expands racial and economic inequality, and share
grassroots stories of resistance to these reforms. By analyzing
current reforms through this dual lens, those concerned with social
justice are better equipped to struggle against this constellation
of reforms in ways that unite rather than divide.
The first edition of What’s Race Got to Do With It (2015)
addressed a moment when those working on the ground—activists,
educators, young people, and families—were trying to understand
and fight back against neoliberal education reforms (e.g., high
stakes testing, school closings, and charter schools), while
uncovering what race had to do with it all in the context of a
supposedly post-racial United States. In the years since, the
steady and grounded work of social movements has increased the
visibility and critique of privatization, market-based reforms, and
segregation; demonstrating the interlocking connections between
racism and capitalism. In this period we have also seen an
intensified attack on public education (alongside other public
infrastructures) and a return to a more overt "racism as we knew
it." This new edition of What’s Race continues the examination of
neoliberal education reforms as they are being rolled back (or
reworked) to track the changes and continuities of recent
years—revealing the ways in which market-driven education reforms
work with and through race—and share grassroots stories of
resistance to these reforms. It is hoped that this new edition will
continue to sharpen readers’ analyses concerning what we are
working to defend and what we are working to transform, and
provides a guide to action that emboldens the collective struggle
for justice.

Camouflaged: Investigating How the U.S. Military Affects You and
Your Community is a tool for educators to help middle and high
school-aged students explore the role of the military in their
lives and in their communities. Local New York City teachers, led
by the New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCoRE), generated
the Camouflaged curriculum with the intent of making it accessible
to educators across the country in a variety of settings and
curricular areas. NYCoRE believes that it is the role of educators
as allies to young people to ensure that students have information
from a variety of sources before considering enlisting in the armed
forces. At this point in U.S. history, military recruiters have
unprecedented access to young people in and out of school through a
variety of mediums. This curriculum provides a critical lens to
help students navigate recruiters' messages and to examine the role
of the military throughout this country's history to the present.
