- Summary:
-
The report of the Cox Working Group on the British national curriculum, "English for Ages 5 to 16," includes recommendations for including in the curriculum the study of literature in English from other cultures. The papers of this collection show some ways in which the recommendations of the Working Group may be put into practice and the ways in which reading and literature can be a basis for a more positive approach to antiracist education. Included in the collection are: (1) "Language against Racism in the UK: The Classroom as a Multilingual Publishing House (Lena Strang); (2) "Children's Books in a Multicultural World: A View from the USA" (Rudine Sims Bishop); (3) "Reading against Racism in South Africa" (Denise Newfield); (4) "Mirror and Springboard: An Australian Teacher Grows Up" (Jim Kable); (5) "'Journey to Jo'burg': Reading a Novel with Years 7 and 8" (Shahana Mirza); (6) "In at the Deep End: English and Bengali Verse" (Sibani Raychaudhuri); (7) "'Can You Fully Understand It?': Approaching Issues of Racism with White Students in the English Classroom" (Beverley Naidoo); (8) "The Use of Literature in the ESL Classroom" (Napheas Akhter); (9) "A Year 10 Story Writing Project" (Lena Strang); (10) "Widening the Field: New Literature for Older Students" (Emrys Evans); and (11) "Bringing the Writer in from the Cold" (Jim Kable). References follow each chapter, and a list of recommended authors and writings is attached. (SLD)
