WHATS RACE GOT TO DO WITH IT? KARTONIERT (TB)

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.
