In doing so, he simultaneously shows how the cards are stacked against local empowerment and that counter-mobilization is nonetheless possible. --Jeffrey R. Henig, co-author of The Color of School Reform As cities from New Orleans to Flint grapple with the long term impacts of state takeovers on local policy and politics, scholars and policymakers have much to learn from Morel's important contribution. --Sarah Reckhow, author of Follow the Money Domingo Morel exposes the hollowness of the claim that state-led reforms offer a color-free path to the improvement of urban schools. Instead, he brings citizenship into the picture and makes a case that for marginalized communities of color it is essential to integrate reform with local empowerment. --Clarence N. Stone, author of Regime Politics I will give this book to each and every graduate student that walks through my door-a stellar example of how to do theoretically-informed, problem-oriented, conceptually rich, and impactful research. --Vesla M.
