"""This book deserves a place on the reading lists and bookshelves of many readers. It is accessible for multiple audiences as the storytelling hooks the reader while also offering opportunities to reconsider several harmful policies and practices. . . If we hope to create a schooling system that is truly designed to serve all of its students - not just those who reflect the dominant white culture or fit into a specific frame - all of these actors must gain an understanding of how schools as institutions perpetuate racism and criminalization."" * Sociology of Race and Ethnicity * ""Drake has contributed a set of unique insights into global dynamics with hyperlocal implications. He does so with a depth and richness through which we come to know and inhabit this world."" * Social Service Review *"
