Winner of an American Educational Studies Association Critics’
Choice Award and Choice Magazine’s Outstanding Academic Book
Award, and voted one of Teacher Magazine’s great books,” Other
People’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 Award–winning author Lisa
Delpit develops ideas about ways teachers can be better cultural
transmitters” 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 other people’s children” struggle with the
imbalance of power and the dynamics plaguing our system. A new
classic among educators, Other People’s Children is a must-read
for teachers, administrators, and parents striving to improve the
quality of America’s education system.
