An early recipient of a MacArthur \"genius\" Award, Lisa Delpit gave us the classic \u003cem\u003eOther People's Children\u003c\/em\u003e and has been called \"a visionary scholar and reformer\" by the Harvard Education School, which awarded her an outstanding alumni award. Christopher Emdin is an award-winning educator whose book \u003cem\u003eFor White People Who Teach in the Hood . . . and the Rest of Y'all Too\u003c\/em\u003e was a national bestseller.

With honesty, humor, and hard-won wisdom, they reflect on their own journeys into education, the challenges they've faced, and the strategies they've developed to uphold equity and justice in a system too often resistant to both. These conversations are not only intellectually rich but emotionally resonant, offering a model of mentorship, mutual respect, and the power of dialogue across difference.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA gift to teachers, scholars, and anyone passionate about reimagining public education, this book is a lasting contribution to the field--one that will inspire readers for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Delpit,Christopher Emdin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781620979679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMacArthur Award winner \u003cb\u003eLisa Delpit\u003c\/b\u003e is the retired Felton G.
