Reviews

This title has received the 2022 Society of Professors of Education (SPE) Outstanding Book Award.

Excluded by Choice offers well-researched insights on the need for inclusive education practices through its exploration of the intersection of racism and ableism in Chicago's charter schools. The book also provides a critical assessment on the role of market mechanisms on school policies. --Education Review
