Summary: Excellent Account of Inequalities
Comment: This book, i havent read it all, i just started today, made me sick when i read the first couple of chapters. I knew that there were things that were horrific in the public school system. this was a good account of the racism and unequalness in the system. i admire kozol as he is an activist in this part of politics. read this book and his other savage inequalities, both are heartwreching but truthfull.

Summary: An Emotional Account of Boston's Wretched Black Schools
Comment: Jonathan Kozol's Death At An Early Age reveals the numerous failings of a poor segregated Boston school in the 1960s. Overcrowding, poor facilities, bigotry, and blatant insensitivity destroyed the learning and emotional environment for the school's young black children. Kozol's account explains the school's troubles, and it's devastating effects, with intelligence and sensitivity. However his wordy writing style and penchant for over-dramatictization dilutes the power of his story. A better writer could have taken Kozol's account and made it into a much more compelling story. I had to read this book in college, and if I used the passive voice as much as Kozol did my GPA would have been much lower.

Summary: Kozol's Classic Tale
Comment: You may have heard of Kozol's other books, like "Savage Inequalities" and "Amazing Grace." If not, GO READ THEM NOW!! Anyway, this is Kozol's fist big book, the one that launched into fame and the life-long career of Social Justice Avenger. If you want to understand more about racism, Kozol's life, and how he got into the business of saving the world, this is your book. It's also a great read! You don't have to be a teacher to enjoy this, but if you are it should be required reading. Two thumbs up.
