Abstract

This article provides a case study of the Algiers Charter School Association, a new organization formed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. The Association coordinated the start-up of charter schools on the West Bank of the city, a high-ground neighborhood that escaped the massive flooding that engulfed New Orleans. I situate the case study in the broader social, political, context of state takeover, rapid-fire school crisis and reform, and deepening privatization.
