A Schoolteacher in Old Alaska
Author: Hannah Breece
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307490548
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
When Hannah Breece came to Alaska in 1904, it was a remote lawless wilderness of prospectors, murderous bootleggers, tribal chiefs, and Russian priests. She spent fourteen years educating Athabascans, Aleuts, Inuits, and Russians with the stubborn generosity of a born teacher and the clarity of an original and independent mind. Jane Jacobs, Hannah's great-niece, here offers an historical context to Breece's remarkable eyewitness account, filling in the narrative gaps, but always allowing the original words to ring clearly. It is more than an adventure story: it is a powerful work of women's history that provides important--and, at times, unsettling--insights into the unexamined assumptions and attitudes that governed white settler's behavior toward native communities at the turn of the century. "An unforgettable...story of a remarkable woman who lived a heroic life."--The New York Times

Diary of a Harlem School Teacher
Author: James Haskins
Publisher: Classics in Progressive Educat
ISBN: 9781595583390
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
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 New York Times Book Review 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, Diary of a Harlem Schoolteacher is a dramatic reminder of how much educational work there is still to do.
