With a new afterword. 'The best book on teachers and children and writing that I've ever read. No-one has said better so much of what so badly needs saying' - Philip Pullman Kate Clanchy wants to change the world and thinks school is an excellent place to do it. She invites you to meet some of the kids she has taught in her thirty-year career. Join her as she explains everything about sex to a classroom of thirteen-year-olds. As she works in the school 'Inclusion Unit', trying to improve the fortunes of kids excluded from regular lessons because of their terrifying power to end learning in an instant. Or as she nurtures her multicultural poetry group, full of migrants and refugees, watches them find their voice and produce work of heartbreaking brilliance. While Clanchy doesn't deny stinging humiliations or hide painful accidents, she celebrates this most creative, passionate and practically useful of jobs. Teaching today is all too often demeaned, diminished and drastically under-resourced. Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me will show you why it shouldn't be. Winner of the Orwell Prize for Political Writing 2020

Is Africa now being re-colonized by the upcoming powerful nations? Can we afford to stand by? Or is it already too late? Cass Cassidy has travelled, worked and lived in Africa and discovered the contrasting ways of everyday life, with very different values put even on life itself. When Cassidy lived there, African states had been de-colonized for a decade or two. Unfortunately, by removing himself from affairs, the colonist had inadvertently created a power vacuum. The arbitrator had gone and there was nothing in the arsenal to replace it. The boundaries and borders had been changed, so the power struggle in the form of tribalism began and continues to this day many years after independence. This book is a first-hand account of just what this has meant to the average African who has been sadly let down as dreams of independence are shattered time and time again.
