Introduction to the Special Issue
In this introduction to the special issue, the editors explain why the work of Jean Anyon is an important jumping-off point for examining the inter-imbrication of political economy and race, and what analytical gains might be made through such scholarship. A synthesized approach to theory can help us identify and bring into generative interplay these two phenomena. Furthermore, this interrelationship has important implications for policy analysis…
Through Jean Anyon’s “Screen Door”
Background/Context: Research has documented educational neoliberalization as a disrupter of “failing” urban schools and a driver of the remaking of urban space for development interests, through the dislocation of low-income communities of color.

Acting Neoliberal
Is the popularity of market-based educational reform among urban residents of color the epitaph of a progressive educational vision, or does it bespeak a struggle to reincarnate that vision within a postwelfare state? This article examines ethnographic work with African American voucher families in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Discursive overlaps and tensions among three sets of stakeholders—African American voucher families, the powerful social forces …
