"Amazing Grace "is Jonathan Kozol's classic book on life and
death in the South Bronx--the poorest urban neighborhood of the
United States. He brings us into overcrowded schools, dysfunctional
hospitals, and rat-infested homes where families have been ravaged
by depression and anxiety, drug-related violence, and the spread of
AIDS. But he also introduces us to devoted and unselfish teachers,
dedicated ministers, and--at the heart and center of the
book--courageous and delightful children. The children we come to
meet through the friendships they have formed with Jonathan defy
the stereotypes of urban youth too frequently presented by the
media. Tender, generous, and often religiously devout, they speak
with eloquence and honesty about the poverty and racial isolation
that have wounded but not hardened them. Amidst all of the despair,
it is the very young whose luminous capacity for love and
transcendent sense of faith in human decency give reason for
hope.
