Opis

Takeover offers the first systematic study of state takeovers of school districts. Domingo Morel examines the factors that contribute to state takeovers as well as the effects and political implications of takeovers on racialized communities, the communities most often affected by them. Although states have generally justified state takeovers based on poor academic performance, questions of race and political power play a critical role in the emergence ofstate takeovers of local school districts.

Recenzje

"Domingo Morel has written a compelling and soundly researched book. It is a must-read for any graduate student who needs an excellent example of a dissertation turned book. It is also a must read for any scholar of urban politics and governance." — Desiree S. Pedescleaux, Perspectives on Politics
