Looks as if the University of Chicago Press is doing two free books this month.
Ghosts in the Schoolyard: Racism and School Closings on Chicago's South Side by Eve L Ewing is free this month with a coupon code, in honor of Black history month.
Here's the book info from the email I received:

Quote:
“Rejecting the impulse to see education as disconnected from American life and politics, Ghosts in the Schoolyard links the struggles of Chicago public schooling with the city’s notoriously racist housing practices. . . . Perhaps most importantly, Ewing gives direct voice to those served by those schools often dismissed as failing. . . . Mixing history, sociology, and even memoir, Ghosts in the Schoolyard is an important addition to any conversation about the future of public schools and those they were designed to serve.”
—Ta-Nehisi Coates
