A propos de cet article

Stated first edition, but without the no. "1" in the number string - 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 (some American publishers removed the "1" for the first edition. The autobiography of the young man who led the 1970 fight against the New York City Board of Education for a high school students' Bill of Rights. The author's first book, written while he was still an undergraduate at Cornell - Neil Postman called this "the best account we have of what it's like to try to change the schools, by an intelligent student who has made a commitment to change things, and who is also capable of writing like a first-rate novelist." ***A very good copy in black cloth-covered boards with gilt and grey titles to the spine, and gilt initials on the front board. The boards are generally clean, but have some marks commensurate with age and handling. Head of spine slightly creased. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges clean. Internally near fine, with no inscriptions or other markings. No foxing. Interior pages clean. Printed on nice quality paper. ***In a very good illustrated dustwrapper, which is not price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of $8.95. The dustwrapper is virtually complete, with no serious chips or tears, but there is some small loss at the base of the spine and corner tips. The edges of the dustwrapper are creased, nicked and rubbed, especially at the head and tail of the spine. No fading. Dustwrapper bright. ***480 pages including appendixes. 218mm x 152mm. ***'This is the remarkably relevant autobiography of the determined young black man who led the 1970 fight against the New York City Board of Education for a high school students' Bill of Rights. In eighteen years, Don Reeves discovered more about the oppression of students and blacks than most people learn in a lifetime. Ever since the time, as a small boy in Detroit, he tried to "process" his own hair (to look like the barber), he's been fascinated by the ways in which grown-ups try to indoctrinate kids to be like them. This unsentimental story of his education, in a strict private school on Jamaica, as a bewildered newcomer to a Brownsville ghetto, and finally in a prestigious Manhattan high school, is an extraordinarily perceptive portrait of the second-class citizenship students still have to suffer through in our schools today.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A very good copy of the true American first edition of this Civil Rights work - and very uncommon to find in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
