Review

"Especially valuable to workers in predominantly white areas where anti-racist policies and strategies are deemed superfluous in a setting where 'race' questions just don't exist. This book reveals immense respect for both parents and professionals but the chief preoccupation is with the needs of the children...this excellent book." -- Early Education (U.K.)
