Because “Hope and Healing in Urban Education,” draws from several case studies, Ginwright organizes the book around different community organizations. Before diving into the case studies, Ginwright introduces theoretical frameworks such as intergenerational trauma and the various practices of healing justice. Each organization is introduced with a brief historical background, as well as a brief overview of the various changes the organization and community have experienced over a period of time. Theoretical frameworks are also weaved throughout these chapters. The book finishes with a concluding chapter that highlights overarching themes within the case studies and ultimately calls for a new approach to advance healing justice in these post-recession spaces.
