Community Cultural Wealth in Stakeholder Perceptions of the Return to Local Control of Schools
In the 1980s and 1990s, state governments began to take over local school districts in cities across the United States. After decades of local resistance to state control, communities are beginning to make strides in their efforts to regain local control. This paper examines local- and state-level stakeholders’ perceptions of the return to local control in Newark, New Jersey in 2018. Using an integrated critical race theory framework, we find con…

Measuring and Explaining Stalled Gentrification in Newark, New Jersey
Gentrification research focuses on timing and variation; how the racial makeup of cities and neighborhoods influences its extent; and the policies that foster or combat it. Most examines places with continuing or recent gentrification and majority-White leadership, such as New York City and San Francisco. We build on this by analyzing a majority-Black city where fear of gentrification is increasing, but gentrification is not widespread. To analyz…

How Community Engagement Helped Transform the Union City Public Schools
Over the past three decades, reformers have championed approaches to improving schools that have included state takeovers, school closures, and firing teachers. Despite the prevalence of these policies, these reform efforts have failed to produce strong systems of public education. This article examines Union City schools in New Jersey (USA), a district that was on the verge of experiencing a state takeover for years of academic underperformance …

Who Governs? How Shifts in Political Power Shape Perceptions of Local Government Services
What factors influence citizens’ perceptions of local government services? To answer this question, we examine citizens’ perceptions of public education in post-Katrina New Orleans. Following Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans began to transform most of its traditional public schools into charters. Although studies show that test scores have improved since the mass adoption of charters post-Katrina, surveys show that most Black citizens in New Orlean…
Epilogue
On January 18, 2014, Newark was once again at the center of the black political power universe, as it had been in July 1967, when the city hosted the first National Conference on Black Power. This time, generations of activists gathered in Newark to commemorate the life of Amiri Baraka (formerly LeRoi Jones), a poet, an activist, and one of the most influential black political and intellectual figures in the late 20th century. The ceremony was of…
A View from Two Cities
The chapter provides an in-depth examination of state takeovers of the Newark, New Jersey, and Central Falls, Rhode Island, school districts. It begins with an examination of the first five years following the takeover of the Newark schools (1995–2000) from the perspective of the city’s black community and finds that the state takeover of the local schools had a devastating political and economic effect on the city’s black community. Then the cha…
Takeover
State takeovers of local school districts emerged in the late 1980s. Although many major U.S. cities have experienced state takeovers of their local school districts, we know little about the political causes and consequences of state takeovers. Relying on historical analysis, case studies, and quantitative analysis, the book offers the first systematic study of state takeovers of local school districts. It shows that although the justifications …
Race and State in the Urban Regime
Over the past four decades, cities have experienced greater oversight from state government. Why have states become increasingly involved in local affairs? How has the increasing presence of state government altered how we understand urban politics? Relying on a case study of Newark, New Jersey, this article argues that the increasing presence of state government in local affairs was a response to the growth of Black political empowerment. Furthe…
The Effects of Centralized Government Authority on Black and Latino Political Empowerment
Studies on centralization and its effect on political empowerment among racial minorities suggest that decentralized arrangements are optimal for increasing empowerment. However, this article argues that the “decentralization-as-optimal” perspective ignores the complicated history that racial minorities have had with government. To assess the effects of centralized government on political empowerment among racial minorities, this article examines…
