The classic, groundbreaking analysis of the role of race in the classroom and a guide for teaching across difference, from the MacArthur Awardâwinning educator âPhenomenal. . . . [This book] overcomes fear and speaks of truths, truths that otherwise have no voice.â âSan Francisco Review of Books In this groundbreaking, radical analysis of contemporary classrooms, MacArthur Awardâwinning author Lisa Delpit develops the theory that teachers must be effective âcultural transmittersâ in the classroom, where prejudice, stereotypes, and assumptions often breed ineffective education. Delpit suggests that many academic problems attributed to children of color are actually the result of miscommunication, as primarily white teachers educate âother peopleâs childrenâ and perpetuate the imbalanced power dynamics that plague our system. Now a classic of educational thought and a must-read for teachers, administrators, and parents striving to improve the quality of Americaâs education system, Other Peopleâs Children has sold over 150,000 copies since its original publication. Winner of an American Educational Studies Association Criticsâ Choice Award and Choice magazineâs Outstanding Academic Book Award, this anniversary edition features a new introduction by Delpit as well as important framing essays by Herbert Kohl and Charles Payne.
