Abstract
This chapter examines the devastating impact of neoliberal education reform experimentation in African American and Latinx communities in Denver. It explores how school reform, as a racial project and a settler colonialist project, operates as a lived experience for Black and Latinx low-income residents. It also details the ways these communities mobilize to fight neoliberal school reform. This chapter gives special attention to school choice, new discipline policies, and duplicitous reformer engagement as the most significant dimensions of neoliberal education reform that impact these community members and inspire their resistance. It discusses how their fight for comprehensive neighborhood schools stands as the antidote to the community fragmentation and gentrification that school reform facilitates. This chapter highlights three community organizations that rise up to take back neighborhood schools and fight dispossession. These non-institutionalized organizations—which operate without clear meeting spaces or 501(c) 3 status—engineer new modes of information sharing, attempt to take back community institutions beyond the school, and organize to harness the power of the vote. This chapter evaluates their non-institutionalized resistance within the larger context of gentrification and in a city in which media outlets, foundations, and other local institutions overwhelmingly align with the corporate reform movement.
