I will write my thoughts and reactions to this book, written by Lisa D. Delpit. I will also try to apply my thoughts to my future classroom, as well as the classroom I am currently novice teaching in.

Summary and Explanation
I chose this book because it looked interesting. I also felt that it would be a good resource to study, as it doesn't appear to be a book that focuses on the problem, but rather explores, in great depth, the things we should know and focus on to find a solution. The chapter titles tell me that each one will focus on a different type of multicultural conflict. Some chapter titles were: "The Vilis Tokples Schools of Papua New Guinea," "Cross-cultural Confusions in Teacher Assessment," and "Language Diversity and Learning." The book had also been listed in Teacher Magazine as a "Great Book" and had won several other awards.
