Produktbeschreibung
In Willful Defiance, by Mark R. Warren tells the story of how Black and Brown parents and students organized to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline in their local schools and built a movement that spread across the country. He examines organizing processes in Mississippi, Los Angeles, Chicago, and other localities, showing how parents and students of color changed exclusionary discipline policies that suspend and expel students of color at disproportionate rates and policing practices that lead students into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. The book documents the struggle to build a movement led by community groups rather than Washington-based professional advocates and offers a new model for federated movements that win policy changes to transform deep-seated and systemic racism in public schools and broader society.
