The United States of America is in possession of the largest prison
population in the world, with 2.3 million people currently behind
bars. This number is predominantly and disproportionately made up
of communities of colour and poverty. Between 1987 and 2007, the
U.S. prison population tripled; the direct result of various 'tough
on crime' public policies. Organizers and scholars use the term
prison industrial complex (PIC) to name the structure that
encompasses the expanding economic and political contexts of the
detention and corrections industry in the USA. The PIC is a network
that sutures capital, communities and the State to a permanent
punishment economy. The term 'the PIC' aims to capture the range of
material and ideological forces that shape the growth of detention:
the political and lobbying power of the corrections officers
unions, the framing of prisons and jails as a growth industry in
the context of deindustrialization, the production and sales of
technology and security required to maintain and expand the state
of incarceration, and the naturalization of isolation as a logical
response to harm. Education and Incarceration highlights the
significance of centering agency and autonomy, and documents
scholars who work to be accountable to justice movements and
communities, not simply to academic disciplines or to research.
Additionally, as emerging scholars committed to challenging the
PIC, these authors struggle to build multi-layered analytic and
material tools for resistance within and beyond the walls of
schools, jails and prisons. This book provides snapshots of
practices in motion: activist scholars working to engage, to be
accountable to families, communities and larger justice movements,
and to build abolition democracies. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Race Ethnicity and Education.

disadvantages of Black children in Sacramento, California. Editors
Lawrence "Torry" Winn, Vajra M. Watson, Maisha T. Winn, and Kindra
F. Montgomery-Block seek to offer viable solutions to racial
injustice by centering the voices of organizers, policymakers,
educators, scholars, and young people alike. Focused on the Black
Child Legacy Campaign (BCLC), a ten-year, community-driven
initiative to respond to disproportionate health outcomes, the
contributors analyze the impact of the BCLC's successes, providing
an empirically rich narrative of its transformative alliances and
radical actions. Through timely and urgent case studies and
personal reflections, Faith Made Flesh advances the need to address
societal challenges through creative engagement with diverse
institutional and individual stakeholders. The findings offer an
innovative model to other regions aiming to cultivate thriving
community-city-school partnerships that center the well-being of
Black children and Black futures.

Restorative justice represents "a paradigm shift in the way
Americans conceptualize and administer punishment," says author
Maisha T. Winn, from a focus on crime to a focus on harm, including
the needs of both those who were harmed and those who caused it.
Her book, Justice on Both Sides, provides an urgently needed,
comprehensive account of the value of restorative justice and how
contemporary schools can implement effective practices to address
inequalities associated with race, class, and gender. Winn, a
restorative justice practitioner and scholar, draws on her
extensive experience as a coach to school leaders and teachers to
show how indispensable restorative justice is in understanding and
addressing the educational needs of students, particularly
disadvantaged youth. Justice on Both Sides makes a major
contribution by demonstrating how this actually works in schools
and how it can be integrated into a range of educational settings.
It also emphasizes how language and labeling must be addressed in
any fruitful restorative effort. Ultimately, Winn makes the case
for restorative justice as a crucial answer, at least in part, to
the unequal practices and opportunities in American schools.

Restorative Justice in Education makes the case for restorative
justice as a practice as much as it is a paradigm. Through essays,
case studies, and interviews, the book outlines for educators and
teacher educators how restorative justice can be leveraged to teach
across disciplines. Building on the success of Justice on Both
Sides, this book consists of four sections that explore
instructional practices in history, race, justice, and language.
The contributors examine a variety of educational issues and
questions for teachers to explore through a transformative justice
lens. Topics include how access to history and histories can
promote agency for and among marginalized students; how science and
mathematics education can be re-imagined to catalyze the creativity
and capacity of Black math learners; and how restorative justice
practices can foster healthy student identities. The book includes
the voices of leading practitioners and scholars, who address the
need for both restorative and transformative justice work within,
across, and beyond the core disciplines. Particular attention is
given to areas of education often omitted from these conversations:
early childhood, special education, and ethnic studies. Restorative
Justice in Education offers educators the pedagogical tools they
need to transform their classroom into just, inclusive, and
uplifting spaces.
*Winner of the 2015 Outstanding Book Award from the American
Educational Research Association's Qualitative Research Special
Interest Group (SIG).* What does it mean to conduct research for
justice with youth and communities who are marginalized by systems
of inequality based on race, ethnicity, sexuality, citizenship
status, gender, and other categories of difference? In this
collection, editors Django Paris and Maisha Winn have selected
essays written by top scholars in education on humanizing
approaches to qualitative and ethnographic inquiry with youth and
their communities. Vignettes, portraits, narratives, personal and
collaborative explorations, photographs, and additional data
excerpts bring the findings to life for a better understanding of
how to use research for positive social change.
