Death at an Early Age
Jonathan Kozol

Plume, 1985

Don't Read This Book!
If you do not want to consider the injustice of schooling in America, not just public schooling, do not read this book. I first read it when I was a beginning teacher and "Death at an Early Age" affected my entire 32 year teaching career. In the age of "No Child Left ...

Ordinary Resurrections: Children in the Years of Hope
Jonathan Kozol

Harper Perennial, 2001

Touching Portraits of Resilience
In Ordinary Resurrections, Jonathan Kozol deviates from his usual "gloves off" attack of the issues facing minority children. Instead of building the case against the inequitable system with facts and figures, as he has in previous work, he has chosen the subtle but ...

Three Rivers Press, 2006

Very Informative
Jonathan Kozol's book "Shame of the Nation" is a great book to learn about the apartheid that is happening in our school systems and to learn about the separation of funding for our schools. He feels that the school system in the United States needs to become more ...
  
  











  



  
On Being a Teacher
Jonathan Kozol

Oneworld Publications, 2009

Letters to a Young Teacher
Jonathan Kozol

Three Rivers Press, 2008

Night Is Dark and I Am Far from Home: Political Indictment of US Public Schools
Jonathan Kozol

Touchstone, 1990

Relentless and Powerful
Critics might say that this book is not just about U.S. public schools, or even primarily about U.S. public schools. I think that's true. I think this book is primarily about what it means to live a moral and conscientous life. The political right has written a lot ...
  
  











  



  
Rachel and Her Children: Homeless Families in America
Jonathan Kozol

Three Rivers Press, 2006

Kozol Misunderstood
I have been reading several reviews of books by Jonathan Kozol and I am disappointed. For starters, everyone seems to be blaming minority mothers for their "out of control baby making." I think the point of his books have been missed. Kozol is always looking at how ...

Wake up America!
The content, in the beginning, was difficult for a non political/history reader....but before long I was locked in and was amazed...appalled...at the role of our government in keeping the Haitian people in 'slavery' while claiming to support democracy. Life is a ...
