Researchers from North America, Australia, Iran, and Europe present 18 essays on resistance to inequality, marginalization, and limited opportunities, particularly the role of schools and education. They address institutional and historical mechanisms of inequality, including how the Programme for International Student Assessment and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development view educational equity in a global context; the increase in negative perceptions of students of new teachers in the US; the evolution of Egypt’s educational system from 1954 to 2011; the educational and community interactions of working and middle-class ethnic Chinese immigrants in the Midwest; the framing of Black Lives Matter in mainstream media; the systemic discrimination of LGBT communities and the Stonewall riots as the foundation of their fight for equal rights and empowerment; and the rise of public-private partnerships in Egyptian education. The second section focuses on students, youth, and families as agents of resistance, including Asian immigrant student activists who fought against school violence and bullying; black girls’ resistance to the school-to-prison pipeline; how former child soldiers in South Sudan struggle to access education; the relationship between negative school social relations, school safety, educational expectation, and academic achievement in Latino immigrant students; Egyptian youth’s development in relation to education, poverty, health, opportunity structures, and challenges associated with social mobility; how black and Latino women from a predominantly white high school in the US engaged in acts of resistance; university student movements in Egypt; gender-specific religious moral dilemmas in Iranian schools; the role of everyday spaces of learning for refugee youth; Black mothers’ efforts to resist ideologies and stereotypes; and white teachers and Latino students working together to discuss race and resist unjust systems.
