Description

WINNER OF THE ROBERT F. KENNEDY BOOK AWARD • “A searing trip into the heart of homelessness” (Chicago Sun-Times) that jolted the American conscience “Jonathan’s struggle is noble. What he says must be heard. His outcry must shake our nation out of its guilty indifference.”—Elie Wiesel Jonathan Kozol is one of America’s most forceful and eloquent observers of the intersection of race, poverty, and education. His books, from the National Book Award–winning Death at an Early Age to the critically acclaimed Shame of the Nation, are touchstones of the national conscience. First published in 1988 and based on the months the author spent among America’s homeless, Rachel and Her Children is an unforgettable record of the desperate voices of men, women, and especially children caught up in a nightmarish situation that tears at the hearts of readers. With record numbers of homeless children and adults flooding the nation’s shelters, Rachel and Her Children offers a look at homelessness that resonates even louder today.

This is one powerful book. It presents in such a way as to open up the scenes being described and helps you to have some level of understanding/insights into the lives of those who live in extreme poverty. I am an International Agriculture Development practitioner with a focus on food security, so this book hits very close to home. The extremes of poverty in this book is as bad or worse than many third world situations I have experienced. This was from the mid eighties so know the situation is much worse now, if you can imagine that (you'll understand once you read it). You will experience this book, not just read it and be ready to be moved emotionally. Kozol is a well known and thought of author by those in Community Psychology arenas, development practitioners and many others with a burden for humanity. Once you read this one, you too will have a burden, so be ready.
