Rese�a del editor:

The children in this book defy the stereotypes of urban youth too frequently presented by the media. Tender, generous and often religiously devout, they speak with eloquence and honesty about the poverty and racial isolation that have wounded but not hardened them.

The book does not romanticize or soften the effects of violence and sickness. One fourth of the child-bearing women in the neighborhoods where these children live test positive for HIV. Pediatric AIDs, life-consuming fires and gang rivalries take a high toll. Several children die during the year in which this narrative takes place.

A gently written work, Amazing Grace asks questions that are at once political and theological. What is the value of a child's life? What exactly do we plan to do with those whom we appear to have defined as economically and humanly superfluous? How cold -- how cruel, how tough -- do we dare be?

Descripci�n Paperback. Condici�n: New. 23rd Printing, 1999. BRAND NEW Copy. Softcover/Fine. 1990's, outstanding classic study of the young and poor --- a poetic insight to 2020 "Black Lives Matter". First published 1995; this is the softcover, Revised Edition w/corrections of 1996. A moral, socio-economic-cultural study from Jonathan Kozol (1936 -) with a focus on USA public education. Record of visits to the South Bronx (15-subway-minutes from New York City's elite East Side), poorest of congressional districts in USA. Volume received the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in 1996, an honor bestowed to Martin Luther King, Jr. Account of daily life of children raised in communites of distressed parents, drugs, AIDS, cold, hunger, and even rats who feed on babies are given. As politicians argue the poor have only themselves to blame, and academics dwell on bell curve, Kozol tells the story of wretched lives. Giving a graphic observations of life in urban neighborhoods that are figuratively, garbage dumps of the privileged. This volume is based on time spent in the Mott Haven where Hispanic and black dwell on household incomes of $7,600 a year, or $147 a week. Children are taught to crawl the minute on gunshot. But that was 1995. This is 2020, and instead of AIDS there is Coranviris, unemployment, and Black Lives Matter is the social expression. Title, from the last verse of ``Amazing Grace'': ``Through many dangers, toils, and snares . . . grace will lead me home.''. N� de ref. del art�culo: 020023
