"Schooling in the Age of Austerity examines the fragmentation of human security in
urban public schools and lives of young people amid escalating global economic volatility
and domestic social polarization. In accessible and vivid language, Means confronts
how neoliberal restructuring and crisis have contributed to the fraying of the urban
social contract, processes of violence and criminalization, and the erosion of the
educative and human development capacity of urban public schools serving historically
disadvantaged and marginalized communities. Through an ethnographic case study in
a low-income and racially segregated neighborhood and public high school in the city
of Chicago, Means highlights the voices and experiences of educators and young people
living and working at the margins of the new urban geography. Despite precarious conditions,
Means demonstrates that there exists a wealth of positive social relations, knowledge,
and desire for change among educators, youth, and communities that can be built upon
and nurtured in order to develop more ethical and restorative approaches to urban
schooling and for promoting more secure and equitable democratic futures for young
people"
