Table of ContentsReviewsExpelling Public Schools offers a fascinating look into the racial politics of corporate school reform in Newark Public Schools. John Arena takes a long view-just over two decades-and examines the reform movements and countermovements in the district from the top down and the bottom up. In assessing corporate school reform efforts under mayors Cory Booker and Ras Baraka, this deeply researched book illuminates the mechanisms that maintain educational inequality. -Rand Quinn, author of Class Action: Desegregation and Diversity in San Francisco Schools It is rare to encounter a work that treats actually existing Black life, an approach best articulated by Cedric Johnson, to critically address contemporary Black urban regimes. Thoughtful, careful, and incisive, Expelling Public Schools does just that. In this moment when antiracism (and surface critiques of antiracism) is rife, John Arena's work provides a wonderful tonic. -Lester Spence, author of Stare in the Darkness: The Limits of Hip-hop and Black Politics Author InformationJohn Arena is associate professor of sociology at CUNY's College of Staten Island and author of Driven from New Orleans: How Nonprofits Betray Public Housing and Promote Privatization (Minnesota, 2012).
