Editor's Note:
“It is more acceptable to put people in cagesthan to address poverty; it is more acceptableto lock them away than to take a hardlook at the ways in which schools and teachersand curricula collaborate to the schoolto-prison pipeline; it is more acceptable to incarcerateyoung, bright men and women thanto address their struggles as they transitionfrom childhood to adulthood, than to listen totheir anguish, than to offer genuine solidarityand comfort to them, than to learn fromthem.... Amid the stories of their neighborhoods,loved ones, daughters and sons to be,parents, grandparents and elders gone butwhose spirits live in their wisdom and courage,together with the pain and the struggles,these young people conjure up a better worldbecause they have no other choice but to findthat better world. ”– From the Introduction by João Costa Vargas
