Fifteen-year-old Diamond stopped going to school the day she was expelled for lashing out at peers who constantly harassed and teased her for something everyone on the staff had missed: she was being trafficked for sex. After months on the run, she was arrested and sent to a detention center for violating a court order to attend school. Just 16 percent of female students, Black girls make up more than one-third of all girls with a school-related arrest.
The first trade book to tell these untold stories, Pushout exposes a world of confined potential and supports the growing movement to address the policies, practices, and cultural illiteracy that push countless students out of school and into unhealthy, unstable, and often unsafe futures. For four years, Monique W. Morris chronicled the experiences of Black girls across the country whose intricate lives are misunderstood, highly judged - by teachers, administrators, and the justice system - and degraded by the very institutions charged with helping them flourish. Morris shows how, despite obstacles, Black girls still find ways to breathe remarkable dignity into their lives in classrooms, juvenile facilities, and beyond.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Morris's work, buttressed by appalling statistics and scholarly studies, is supplemented by two useful appendices...and a list of community resources." (Publishers Weekly)

Morris' work is vital to confronting America's creation of the lens through which we see African American girls. As the African American people are continuously omitted from the public school storytelling of "American History," African American girls are viewed absent of the context of Ida B Wells, Maggie Lena Walker and hundreds, if not thousands, of African American women and girls.
Americans are left with the exploitative lens that our original human traffickers created to justify the selling and raping of African American women and children.
I look forward to listening to Pushout numerous times to help cleanse my psyche of malicious miseducation about African American girls.
Grateful.
