Lisa Delpit�s Other People�s Children�which has sold more than a quarter-million copies to date�is a paradigm-shifting, highly acclaimed exploration of the cultural slippage between white teachers and students of color. In her long-awaited and now bestselling second book, Multiplication Is for White People, the award-winning educator reflects on the last fifteen years of reform efforts�including No Child Left Behind, standardized testing, alternative teacher certification paths, and the charter school movement�that have left a generation of poor children of color feeling that higher educational achievement is not for them.Hailed as illuminating (Publishers Weekly), thought-provoking (Harvard Educational Review), and a much-needed review of the American educational system (Kirkus Reviews), Multiplication Is for White People is a passionate reminder that there is no achievement gap at birth. Poor teaching, negative stereotypes, and a curriculum that does not adequately connect to poor children�s lives conspire against the prospects of poor children of color. From K-12 classrooms through the college years, Delpit brings the topic of educating other people�s children into the twenty-first century, outlining a blueprint for raising expectations based on a simple premise: that all aspects of advanced education are for everyone.
