“…These studies attempted to identify how the language used in these texts revealed, conveyed, and/or promoted neoliberal ideals and goals. Several researchers collected and analysed data from more widely circulating sources, including speeches (Hairston, 2013;Suspitsyna, 2010) and newspapers (Hankins & Martin, 2006). These articles were similar in that researchers sought to identify attempts to shape the public perception of education.…”

“…For instance, several papers linked neoliberalism with the experience and existence of racism in US schools (e.g. Barlett et al, 2002;Hairston, 2013;Journell, 2011). There were also a few papers that situated neoliberalism within a wider class project aimed at perpetuating the dominance of economic elites over others (e.g.…”

Neoliberalism has an enormous influence on P-12 education in most industrial societies. In this integrative, theoretical literature review, we surveyed the journal articles on neoliberalism in US-based educational research to better understand how neoliberalism has been conceptualized in this body of work and to offer implications for future research on neoliberalism and education. We drew on Foucauldian discourse theories to conduct an analysis of peerreviewed studies of American P-12 contexts to consider how researchers' depictions of neoliberalism have shaped the discourse of neoliberalism in education and contributed to particular ways of thinking and responding to neoliberalism in the U.S. The resulting analysis describes the topics addressed in the data, the definitions of neoliberalism presented across the studies, the application of neoliberalism to phenomena, and the depth of attention to neoliberalism in the research. The authors contend that future research must consider and document how historically situated and contradictory elements of a "rascal" discourse like neoliberalism interacts with existing discourses to impact life in ways that subjugate but may also create recuperative spaces for hope and creative resignification.

“…190-191) After World War II and through the 1960s, the United States made a formal shift from an explicit racist society to a seemingly antiracist liberal one. This marked the beginning of a color-blind, postracial era (Hairston, 2013). Largely due to the civil rights movements, gone were the days of Jim Crow, a legal system designed to overtly promulgate and protect White supremacy.…”

Scholars have tried to understand the impact of race and racism on the educational experiences of African American students for several decades. Unable to make causal claims of racism as directly contributing to achievement gaps, scholars have documented inequitable access and opportunity as both a historical phenomenon (Anderson, 1988;Ladson-Billings, 2006) and a contemporary manifestation of social processes that appear to create disproportionate outcomes for African American students relative to their White peers across a number of domains. Indeed, an inference that one can draw from the qualitative and statistical data is that race does matter when it comes to the education and educational experiences of African Americans and other students of color. Overwhelmingly, the data suggest that despite making gains in terms of high school graduation and college attendance, students of color-particularly African Americans-still face schooling environments that are often racially hostile or, at the very least, places that refuse to address
