"""Brilliant in her artistry, Ujju Aggarwal carries us across narrative maps of an extraordinary set of relations. Her geographic analysis compels us into tense and complex terrains of partition and possibility: neighborhood, community, and school. Unsettling Choice exquisitely collides scale to consider vast histories and conditions of publics, choice, gentrification, abandonment, and more while simultaneously centering the profoundly intimate, local story of a group of women practicing radical care. Read this book, and be moved and transformed.""—Sabina Vaught, coauthor of The School-Prison Trust   ""Unsettling Choice combines ethnographic encounters with race theory emanating from Black studies and critical geography to present a nuanced understanding of how education and housing are structurally formed by race, class, and gender. Ujju Aggarwal's book is a must-read to understand the racialized violence inherent within one of the most fundamental aspects of education in the United States: the logic of choice.""—Damien M. Sojoyner, author of First Strike: Educational Enclosures in Black Los Angeles  "
