It is the poverty, the racial isolation, and the lack of political clout that dooms inner-city schools to failure, Anyon posits, and she backs up her thesis with solid evidence: her own experiences as a school reformer in Newark, New Jersey. Ghetto Schooling is filled with interviews, media reports and Anyon’s eyewitness account of the sorry state of Newark schools and reformers’ Sisyphean task of trying to make changes in the midst of urban decay and governmental indifference.
