Introduction to the Special Issue: Urban Political Economy,Race,and Educational Inequality: Realizing and Extending the Radical Possibility of Jean Anyon
In this introduction to the special issue, the editors explain why the work of Jean Anyon is an important jumping-off point for examining the inter-imbrication of political economy and race, and what analytical gains might be made through such scholarship. A synthesized approach to theory can help us identify and bring into generative interplay these two phenomena. Furthermore, this interrelationship has important implications for policy analysis, as racial discourses become employed in and animate revanchist economic and education reforms.
