Jean Anyon was a professor of social and educational policy and the author of the best-selling and critically acclaimed Ghetto Schooling: A Political Economy of Urban School Reform. In Radical Possibilities: Public Policy, Urban Education, and a New Social Movement she explores the inequities in the public schools especially in urban locations. Policy differences, impossible funding scenarios, racism, the geography of public transportation, health equity, disparities, all play major roles. Even the limited choices most families have regarding public vs. private educational options. This newest edition also reviews the increased challenges resulting from the Great Recession.
