- Title
School Violence and the Carceral State in the 1970s: Desegregation and the New Educational Inequality in Louisiana.
- Authors
STERN, WALTER C.
- Abstract
The article analyzes how school desegregation in Louisiana in the 1970s was affected by the rise of the carcereal state or the expansion of prisons and policing, and how this contributed to the reproduction of educational inequality along racial lines. He argues that school desegration was not only a civil rights struggle but also a site of criminalization and violence. He shows how school desegration was influenced by the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, and the black power movement.
