URBAN NARRATIVES - DAVID J CONNOR KARTONIERT (TB)

Urban Narratives foregrounds previously silenced voices of young people of color who are
labeled disabled. Overrepresented in special education classes  yet underrepresented in
educational research  these students - the largest group within segregated special education
classes - share their perceptions of the world and their place within it. Eight 'portraits in
progress' consisting of their own words and framed by their poetry and drawings  reveal
compelling insights about life inside and out of the American urban education system. The book
uses an intersectional analysis to examine how power circulates in society throughout and among
historical  cultural  institutional  and interpersonal domains  impacting social  academic  and
economic opportunities for individuals  and expanding or circumscribing their worlds.
