First edition. Paperback. 21.5 × 13.5cm, 154pp.
"How do children grow up to become racists? Part of the answer lies in the books we give them to read, and in western societies, at least, these books are still 'saturated' by racism. This was the conclusion of a workshop on racism in children's books organized by the Programme to Combat Racism and the Education Office of the WCC. The workshop papers in this volume, imaginatively edited by Roy Preiswerk, professor at the Institute of Development Studies in Geneva, gather study material from Africa, Afro-American, Australian, Puerto Rican, German and British perspectives."
