Claiming Citizenship: The Political Labor of Black Women's Resistance
In what ways, if any, do justice-involved Black women make political demands? How do they understand their role and rights as citizens? Previous work has focused on identifying forms of political behavior, both formal and deviant (i.e., resistance, subversive acts), and the degree to which different groups participate in these behaviors. Few studies have focused on the sensemaking and ideologies likely motivating the behavior of justice-involved …
Close to Home: Place-Based Mobilization in Racialized Contexts
How do racially concentrated policy changes translate to political action? Using official election returns, the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, and original data on the unprecedented mass closure of schools in segregated, predominantly Black neighborhoods across Chicago, we demonstrate that those living in the communities affected (1) increase their attendance at political meetings; (2) mobilize in support of ballot measures to avert fu…
Every year they ignore us”: Public school closures and public trust
How do citizens’ experiences with public schools shape their feelings about politics? Over the past two decades, public schools have closed at an increasing rate across the United States. In 2013, US history was made in Chicago, Illinois, when the most public schools in a single year were closed. Despite the large number of school closures nationwide, there is a little research on what citizens think about them and their potential political effec…
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…

The paradox of educational attitudes: Racial differences in public opinion on school closure
In 2009, the federal government of the United States proposed the “turnaround” of the nation’s 5,000 lowest performing public schools. In 2013, nearly 2,000 public schools were closed, in part due to this turnaround effort. An increasing number of these closures occurred in large cities where a majority of those affected were either Black or Latino. Utilizing quantitative data on Chicago, this article examines the impacts of these targeted school…
