Bøger af Patricia H. Hinchey

At a time when American public schools are increasingly re-segregating, underfunded, and as unequal as they were in earlier decades, this classic book can help readers grasp links between a slavery past and a dismal present for many people of colour.

How is it, this text asks, that given such good intentions among education professionals, things in schools can go so very wrong? The problem, Hinchey and Konkol posit, is that unspoken and misleading assumptions result in choices, decisions and policies with disastrous consequences for kids.

Finding Freedom in the Classroom
