Unequal Fortunes - Snapshots from the Bronx

Informationen zum Autor Arthur Levine is president of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation and president emeritus of Teachers College, Columbia University. Laura Scheiber is a Ph.D. candidate in Comparative and International Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. Klappentext In this powerful book, Arthur Levine (president of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation) and Laura Scheiber revisit the South Bronx, where Levine grew up in the 1960s, and compare his experiences with those of a group of teenagers coming of age in the same neighbourhood nearly 40 years later. They focus on the new social realities that have shaped Levine's old neighbourhood, and conclude with the lessons that must be learned if we are to help today's disenfranchised children.
