Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Presenting an analysis of contemporary classrooms, this book develops ideas about the ways teachers can be better cultural transmitters in the classroom. It suggests that many academic problems attributed to children of colour are actually the result of miscommunication.

This 2006 edition includes a new introduction by the author and three new essays by three of Delpit's colleagues discussing the author's work and its continuing impact on educators. For teachers, parents, and administrators. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
