“Punitive discipline policies that are purported to keep students safe but in fact disproportionately suspend Black students (Smith & Harper, 2015), low expectations of Black students (Irvine, 1991), and sustained cycles of divestment in the social, academic, and material resources students need (Aggarwal, Mayorga, & Nevel, 2012) are just some examples of slow violence in schools” (217).

“Such rhetoric around public school reform strategies such as charter schools, mayoral control, and school closings, represents a power erasure (Kincheloe & Steinberg, 1997) that allows current school reforms to appear as equity measures while, in reality, such reforms have dire consequences for communities of Color, particularly for Black students.”

“The Movement for Black Lives is a coalition of over 50 organizations, of which the Black Lives Matter Network is one member. More often than not, however, BLM is used as an umbrella term with which many concerned with justice for Black people globally identify, regardless of any formal connection to the specific organization or coalition” (213).

“For us, race radicalism is a form of politics and analysis. Rooted in Cedric Robinson’s (1983) mapping of the Black Radical Tradition, Melamed (2011) describes race radicalism as “struggle and politics that reckon with the differential and racialized violences that inevitably follow from the insufficiency and nongeneralizability of human value under U.S.-led transnational capitalism and neoliberal globalization” (p. 47). Our framework “works in both” (trabajar en ambxs) a cultural politics of race and an analysis of neo-liberalism (Dumas, 2011; Mayorga, forthcoming).”
