摘要
All these white schools I've been sent to are racist, Sonya says. I'd have done better in a black school. I was an outsider here. These are hard words for Vivian Paley, whose own kindergarten was one of Sonya's schools, the integrated classroom depicted by Paley in White Teacher. Confronted with the grown-up Sonya, now on her way to a black college, and with a chorus of voices questioning the fairness and effectiveness of integrated education, Paley sets out to discover the truth about the multicultural classroom from those who participate in it.

Paley, a white kindergarten teacher at the Univ. of Chicago Laboratory Schools, interviewed parents of black pupils, adult graduates of integrated schools, African American teachers, a Tlingit Indian Head Start teacher in Alaska and students of various racial and ethnic backgrounds. To her surprise, many of the black parents and teachers were deeply skeptical of the integrated classroom, citing subtle but pervasive racism, and said they favored all-black schools as the best environment to build their children's self-esteem and sense of identity. Recording her dialogues and encounters at conferences and schools around the country, Paley (You Can't Say You Can't Play) supports the multicultural classroom as a forum where teachers can help children recognize and accept individual differences. She also relates here her fictional stories featuring a runaway slave, Kwanzaa (whose name she took from the African American holiday), which she uses to teach about racism in this sensitive report.

Storyteller, author, and teacher, Paley (also author of White Teacher, CH, Sep'77, and You Can't Say You Can't Play, 1992), narrates her journey as a kindergarten teacher attempting to define and understand the real meaning of a school culture that embraces and celebrates diversity. Paley uses the art of storytelling and conversation to move the reader beyond the superficial and abstract discussions about diversity to authentic and real experiences with a variety of diverse voices, including African American teachers, parents, and children; Native Americans; and immigrant families. The voices, the stories, and the conversations contribute to an understanding of the issues behind self-segregation, the frustrations of racism, and the shared vision of creating school environments that celebrate the uniqueness of all children. Kwanzaa and Me is an essential text for preservice and in-service teachers and administrators. D. L. Norland; Luther College
