Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Couple of slight creases to back cover. Here is a book to combat racism in our schools. What counter-power does it contain? The writings of students in an East London secondary school. It is their voice we hear - and which collectively echoes the multi-racial experience of young people today. Through poems, plays and stories, these children illustrate their own immigrant origins and the ordeals their families have known. They respond to local history, neighbourhood empathy, the Third World and racist incidents on their own doorstep. They travel back in history to reflect upon the past struggles which parallel their own. The author has compiled a book to be read by children, parents and teachers alike. He has put his expierience of teacm-teaching in Limehouse, East London to positive use: by showing us that the relevant knowledge capable of transforming society already exists within the students them - if only it is developed. Only they can move forward and break the barriers which now confine them! 287 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
