"State takeovers of local governments have garnered national attention of late, particularly
following the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. In most U.S. cities, local governments
are responsible for decisions concerning matters such as the local water supply and
school affairs. However, once a state takes over, this decision-making capability
is shuttled. Despite the widespread attention that takeovers in Flint and Detroit
have gained, we know little about how such takeovers -- a policy option that has been
in use since the 1980s -- affect political power in local communities. This manuscript
offers the first systematic study of state takeovers of local governments by focusing
on takeovers of local school districts. The book examines the factors that contribute
to state takeovers as well as the effects and political implications of takeovers
on racialized communities, the communities most often affected by them. It challenges
conventional wisdom that centralization and state takeovers unequivocally disempower
racialized communities, laying out the conditions under which the policy will disempower
or empower racial and ethnic minority populations. In addition, the book expands our
understanding of urban politics. The book argues that state interventions are part
of the new normal for cities and offers a novel theoretical framework for understanding
the presence of the state in American cities. The book is built around an original
study of nearly 1000 school districts, including every school district that has been
taken over by their respective state, and a powerful case study of Newark, New Jersey"
