Summary: Black Teachers On Teaching
Comment: I am a college student majoring in Education. I selected this book to read for a class. I found the book to be very interesting. This book told the history of segregation and desegregation through the eyes of teachers who taught during that time period. The book also look at the concerns African American teachers had for African American children. The teachers were role models and told personal stories of their teaching experiences. This was a very powerful book and I really enjoyed reading it. I only wish that Foster could have interviewed more novice teachers. I would highly recommend this book to all teachers and anyone interested in the history of segregation and desegregation.

Summary: Excellent Read for All Teachers
Comment: My name is Denise Saulsberry and I am a student at Macon State College. I was required to read a book for my education class about teaching. I feel I made an excellent choice. Black Teachers on Teaching was very enlightening about the things black teachers experienced in the past and things they still encounter in the work place. It also gave some insight on different situations you will experience and ways of dealing with them. This book was an interesting and excellent read.

Summary: response to review from april 24, 2000
Comment: i think this reviewers comments are somewhat off the mark. first, if one is going to criticize a text they could at least get the gender of the writer correct (a clue to how well read). second, the reviewer describes foster as biased. i am a teacher educator who focuses on social and cultural issues in education. foster's text attempts to shed light on a particular perspective and historical experience of a group that has been historically marginalized in education. that is not bias, rather it is focus. third, the reviewer says they want something for the advancement of all students. i believe when arguments like that are made, there is an underlying assumption that since the focus is directly on black students (or other non-European students) then the lessons do not apply to white students. a close read of foster's text shows us the issues that DISTRICTS must face in developing productive environments. this text provides stories which all teachers must face: dealing with students, families, and bureacracy. also, in the advice on how to teach black children she reflects a great deal of literature about how to teach a MULTICULTURAL classroom (i.e. taking into account the culture and values of the students before you, as a group and individuals). foster's text is a great window into the history and general perspectives of a group that has been largely overlooked in the popular literature. surf around amazon.com and i doubt you will find another text like it.
