Product Description -
A thought-provoking and fearless exploration of how we can dismantle racism in the classroom and do better by all our students. An Amazon Best Non-Fiction Book of The Yeara€˜Essential readinga€˜ a€“ The Guardiana€˜Sharp and witty with moments of startling candoura€˜ a€“ The ia€˜Revealing and beautifully writtena€˜ a€“ David Harewood_____Before Jeffrey Boakye was a black teacher, he was a black student. Which means he has spent a lifetime navigating places of learning that are white by default. Since training to teach, he has often been the only black teacher at school. At times seen as a role model, at others a source of curiosity, Boakyea€s is a journey of exploration a€“ from the outside looking in. In the groundbreaking I Heard What You Said, he recounts how it feels to be on the margins of the British education system. As a black, male teacher a€“ an English teacher who has had to teach problematic texts a€“ his very existence is a provocation to the status quo, giving him a unique perspective on the UKa€s classrooms. Told through a series of eye-opening encounters based on the often challenging and sometimes outrageous things people have said to him or about him a€“ from a€˜Can you rap?a€˜ and a€˜Have you been in prison?a€˜ to a€˜Stephen who?a€˜ a€“ Boakye reflects with passion and wit on what he has found out about the presumptions, silences and distortions that underpin the experience of black students and teachers. _____a€˜Hugely importanta€˜ a€“ Baroness Lawrencea€˜Deeply compelling, intellectually rigorous and essentiala€˜ a€“ Nels Abbeya€˜Makes a powerful casea€˜ a€“ Rt Hon Lady Hale
