<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This classic work, long out of print, recounts the experiences of an African American teacher during his first year working in a Harlem elementary school in the 1960s. Though written more than forty years ago, the diary still rings true to the experience of many beginning teachers today. The<i> New York Times Book Review</i> called Haskins's diary a weapon--cold, blunt, painful and Look magazine said it will be read a generation hence as a classic of one aspect of American education. As Herbert Kohl discusses in his new foreword, <i> Diary of a Harlem Schoolteacher</i> is a dramatic reminder of how much educational work there is still to do.</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jim Haskins was the author of more than a hundred books. In 1994 he received the <i>Washington Post</i> Children's Book Guild Award for a body of work in nonfiction for young people. He died in 2005.<br>
