<p> How do our own attitudes get in the way of anti-bias in the classroom? In this practical resource, Tamar Jacobson provides a framework for early childhood teachers and education professors to confront this issue head on. </p> <p> And she knows whereof she speaks. Growing up Jewish in the former colony of Rhodesia, Jacobson is in a unique position to challenge us with her disquiet, move us with her perspective, and change our ideas. What's more, she guides us along the tricky path towards an anti-bias curriculum-showing us how to see our own shortcomings, stop the perpetuation of negatives, and clear the way for children to gain a greater understanding of the world and its possibilities. </p>
