Other People's Children: Cultural Conflict in the Classroom

Winner of an American Educational Studies Association Criticsâ€™ Choice Award and Choice Magazineâ€™s Outstanding Academic book award, and voted one of Teacher Magazineâ€™s Â“great books,â€ Other Peopleâ€™s Children has sold over 150,000 copies since its original hardcover publication. This anniversary paperback edition features a new introduction by Delpit as well as new framing essays by Herbert Kohl and Charles Payne.

In a radical analysis of contemporary classrooms, MacArthur AwardÂ–winning author Lisa Delpit develops ideas about ways teachers can be better Â“cultural transmittersâ€ in the classroom, where prejudice, stereotypes, and cultural assumptions breed ineffective education. Delpit suggests that many academic problems attributed to children of color are actually the result of miscommunication, as primarily white teachers and Â“other peopleâ€™s childrenâ€ struggle with the imbalance of power and the dynamics plaguing our system.

A new classic among educators, Other Peopleâ€™s Children is a must-read for teachers, administrators, and parents striving to improve the quality of Americaâ€™s education system.
