About this title: "It's all about dialogue, isn't it?", asks Lorraine, a black third-grade teacher whose story becomes a central motif. And indeed, it is the dialogue that prevails in this book, as parents and teachers learn how they must talk to each other and to their children, if every child is to secure a sense of self in the schoolroom, no matter what the predominant ethnic background. Vivian Paley offers these discoveries to readers as a starting point for their own journeys toward community and kinship in today's schools and tomorrow's culture.

"This sequel to "White Teacher", written nearly 20 years later, continues the author's exploration of the multicultural classroom.
