Jonathan Kozol è un distinto autore di saggistica ed educatore il cui lavoro esamina criticamente il panorama dell'istruzione pubblica americana. È profondamente impegnato nello smascherare e rettificare le disuguaglianze sistemiche, concentrandosi sull'impatto della povertà e dell'ingiustizia all'interno delle scuole. La scrittura di Kozol è caratterizzata dalla sua appassionata difesa e dal potente uso della narrazione, attingendo spesso alle voci e alle esperienze di coloro che sono maggiormente colpiti dalle disparità educative. I suoi contributi letterari fungono da un'appassionata chiamata alla riforma, sforzandosi di promuovere un sistema educativo più equo ed eccellente per ogni bambino.

From one of the foremost authorities on education in the United States, former U.S. assistant secretary of education, an incisive, comprehensive look at today’s American school system that argues against those who claim it is broken and beyond repair; an impassioned but reasoned call to stop the privatization movement that is draining students and funding from our public schools. In a chapter-by-chapter breakdown she puts forth a plan for what can be done to preserve and improve our public schools. She makes clear what is right about U.S. education, how policy makers are failing to address the root causes of educational failure, and how we can fix it.
