1. Unequal City
Race, Schools, and Perceptions of Injustice
"Unequal City" examines the intersection of race, class, and education in the urban environment, focusing on how the American educational and criminal justice systems shape the lives of young people in Chicago. The book delves into the experiences of Chicago high school students, highlighting the stark disparities they face based on where they live and go to school. Through a sociological lens, it explores the systemic inequalities that are perpetuated by institutional policies and practices, revealing how schools and policing policies not only reflect but also reinforce existing social hierarchies, contributing to a cycle of disadvantage for minority and low-income youth.
