Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: In this groundbreaking volume, scholars examine the achievement/opportunity gaps from both historical and contemporary perspectives, as well as the overrepresentation of minority students in special education and the school-to-prison pipeline. Chapters also address school reform and the impact on students based on race, class, and dis/ability and the capacity of law and policy to include (and exclude).

Review Quotes:

"This volume extends an important discourse that critically renders visible the power dynamics that operate at the site of the production of disability among raced populations."
