Description
Jeffrey Boakye's memoir is a thought-provoking exploration of racism in the classroom and how to do better by all students. As a black teacher who has spent his career navigating predominantly white places of learning, he offers a unique perspective on the UK's education system.
The book is based on the author's experiences as a black male English teacher, where he has often been the only black teacher at school and has faced challenging encounters with students and colleagues. Through these stories, Boakye reflects on the presumptions, silences and distortions that underpin the experience of black students and teachers.
With passion and wit, Boakye shares his journey of exploration, shedding light on the ways in which racism can be dismantled in the classroom. This is a timely and important book for anyone interested in education, diversity and inclusion.
