Description

Explore the complex reality of urban education reform in Charter Schools, Race, and Urban Space. While many advocates promote charter schools as equitable solutions that provide working-class students of color with diverse school choices, Kristen Buras offers a critical perspective that challenges these claims. Through a detailed case study of New Orleans, this book examines the consequences of creating the nation's first all-charter school district. It looks at the impact of massive teacher layoffs and the shifting landscape of urban school systems. Buras investigates whether these reforms truly serve the needs of racially oppressed communities or if they function as a different kind of market-driven system. This work provides a deep look at how market forces and grassroots resistance meet in the urban school environment. It is an essential read for those studying sociology, education policy, and the social sciences, offering a unique account of how reform efforts shape the lives of students and educators in changing urban spaces.
