Hardback. Condition: Very Good. As MacArthur award-winning educator Lisa Delpit reminds usand as all research showsthere is no achievement gap at birth.

Delpit's bestselling and paradigm-shifting first book, Other People's Children, focused on cultural slippage in the classroom between white teachers and students of color.
