Radical Possibilities by Jean Anyon
Public Policy, Urban Education, and a New Social Movement
The book argues that real improvement in urban education requires fundamental political and economic change rather than narrow, market-driven school reforms; it critiques accountability measures, standardized testing, and technocratic policies that ignore class and community contexts, shows how schooling is shaped by broader social structures, and calls for coalitions of teachers, parents, workers, and activists to pursue democratic control of schools, equitable funding, and policies that address poverty and inequality while offering case studies and strategies for building a grassroots social movement for educational justice.
