 Vivian
Paley presents a moving personal account of her experiences
teaching kindergarten in an integrated school within a predominantly
white, middle-class neighborhood. In a new preface, she reflects
on the way that even simple terminology can convey unintended
meanings and show a speaker's blind spots. She also vividly
describes what her readers have taught her over the years
about herself as a "white teacher."
About the author: Vivian Gussin Paley, a
former kindergarten teacher, is the winner of a MacArthur
Award and of the 1998 American Book Award for Lifetime Achievement
given by the Before Columbus Foundation
