This book challenges us to think beyond the paradigm of race to also include the paradigm of gender when we discuss and think about reforming schools to provide better educational opportunities for Black students. This book made me think about all the ways that children’s’ lives are not in their own control and how that lack of control affects their education in ways that we in this profession deem inappropriate or label as a lack of desire or care about learning. I liked how this book explained these critical issues in a straightforward manner — allowing the reader to understand the critical nature of these problems in hindering Black girls from getting an education.

This was excellent. I loved the use of interviews. While much of the information in the book wasn’t new to me, it was presented in an engaging way. My only complaint is that the author seemed pretty resigned to the fact that SROs exist in schools, rather than advocating for their removal and replacement with better alternatives.

This book is crucial for anyone who wants to be a part of the larger conversation about racial equality and equity. Black girls are increasingly left out of the BLM movement and the broader women’s rights movements and this book helps discuss one aspect that I think we can all help work forward on to stop the criminalization of black girls in schools and educations systems. Highly recommend reading especially if you are an educator or work with young black women.

The content warnings apply to several chapters and are briefly mentioned only but as this book is nonfiction the mentions are not abstract or fictionalization for the most part.
