To Sir, With Love

In the world-famous book To Sir, With Love, author Edward Ricardo Brathwaite writes:Like other Caribbean people, he had a desire to contribute to his country, and fueled by this spirit, he joined the British Armed Forces and was willing to die for his country during wartime. Brathwaite demonstrates a keen interest as a teacher, but we know there are many lessons teachers need to learn, especially in terms of humility and patience.Its no surprise that unruly students are the ones who begin to teach them lessons. This is poignantly depicted when the mother of one such child dies. The child was the only mixed-race child in the entire class. To Sir, With Love leaves readers with no doubt about the nature of British society over the centuries, and how it has been riddled with prejudice. To Sir, with Love takes us back to the early 1950s, when thousands of others arriving to rebuild Britain after the devastation of World War II were easily identifiable, and here, on the streets, in the workplace, and in schools, lay the deep-rooted problem of undeniable genetic prejudice.A highly popular, moving, and readable book that addresses racial discrimination and fosters harmony.
