The Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of African American Children by Gloria Ladson-Billings

5.0

Twenty years on from the first edition it is shocking how little has been done for African American children in US schools. This is a classic ethnographic study that is inspirational most of the time, and depressing when you see how the teachers pictured have to fight for what they know is the most humane way to teach. Essential reading for anyone going into teaching, no matter who you'll be working with.
