hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1978. October 1978. Delacorte Press. 1st American Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0440009820. 245 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Walter Harper. Signed by the Author. keywords: Education Cuba Autobiography. DESCRIPTION - Winner of the National Book Award for his brilliant DEATH AT AN EARLY AGE, Jonathan Kozol now turns his attention from the American public school system to that of Cuba - and the remarkable campaign that followed Castro's determination to end adult illiteracy in his country in a year's time. Here is the moving account of how a nation learned to read and write: the human adventure of how one hundred thousand schoolchildren, teen-age and younger, set out to some of the most remote regions of the country, armed with a primer, a lantern for study light, a hammock in which to sleep, and lots of enthusiasm. They went prepared to join in the labors of farm and home, determined to bring an education to one million neglected adults. CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION gives us not only the story of the Great Campaign of 1961 - told to Jonathan Kozol by those who were part of it - but of the educational revolution that followed it: the follow-up to raise the level of education for the once-untaught adults; the Cu school system today with instruction both in the classroom and in the fields and factories. In 1976 and 1977 Kozol was in Cuba meeting not just with the leaders of the schools there but with the students themselves, and it is from them that he got his remarkable picture of Cuban education today - a story of interest to everyone who cares about learning anywhere. Illustrated with 16 pages of photographs. inventory #19824. Signed by the Author. Seller Inventory # z19824
