Paperback. The first edition of Whats Race Got to Do With It (2015) addressed a moment when those working on the groundactivists, educators, young people, and familieswere 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 Whats Race continues the examination of neoliberal education reforms as they are being rolled back (or reworked) to track the changes and continuities of recent yearsrevealing the ways in which market-driven education reforms work with and through raceand 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. What's Race Got To Do With It? Second Edition examines neoliberal education reforms as they are being rolled back (or reworked) to track the changes and continuities of recent yearsrevealing the ways in which market-driven education reforms work with and through raceand share grassroots stories of resistance to these reforms.

Riassunto

At the time that the first edition of What’s Race Got to Do with It was published (2015), many on the left were struggling to both fight back neoliberal education reforms—such as charter schools, school closings, high-stakes testing—understand how these reforms were defined, and how they circulated through the entanglements of race and class. In the years since, we have seen the accelerated growth of social movements push back against this logic. The steady and grounded work of those fighting back neoliberal education reform has increased the visibility and critique of privatization, market-based reforms, and segregation; demonstrating the interlocking connections between racism and capitalism. We have also seen the election of Donald Trump to the office of U.S. President and the appointment of Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, signaling an intensified attack on public education (alongside other public infrastructures) and a return to "racism as we knew it." As neoliberal multicultural reforms that defined the Obama administration are rolled back, this new edition of What’s Race considers how we might sharpen our analysis concerning what we are working to defend and what we are working to transform. Each chapter author tracks the changes and continuities of recent years, revealing the ways in which market-driven education reforms work with and through race, and sharing grassroots stories of resistance to these reforms. We hope that this book will continue to provide readers with a guide to action that emboldens our struggles for justice.
