Tell It Like It Is: How Our Schools Fail Black Children

by Arif Ali

"34 years ago Grenadian scholar Bernard Coard caused a social and political storm by telling it how it was in this seminal study How the West Indian Child is Made Educationally Subnormal in the British School System." Three decades on our schools are failing Black Children. Tell It Like It Is reprints Bernard Coard's classic text alongside a series of essays, articles and reflections from other scholars and activists that bring the debate about race and education firmly into the 21st century.

[Jonny Walker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wide-ranging, accessible and thought-provoking articles on one of the most persistent problems in the UK Education system. Lots of ideas remain buzzing around once I'd closed the book.
