Description:

A bold abolitionist manifesto that exposes the carceral logics of schooling and challenges us to redesign discipline, space, language, and imagination so education serves freedom rather than control

Review Quotes: "Marc Lamont Hill has given us a book of prophetic imagination. He traces how the classroom has been engineered into a staging ground for cages --from mugshots and metal detectors to the architecture of the buildings where our children learn. But this is not only an indictment. This remarkable book will leave you with what Hill calls 'unreasonable faith' that we can and must build the loving, caring communities our children need and deserve." --Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
