A trenchant informal analysis.” —Kirkus Reviews “This remarkable book is delightful to read and rewarding to ponder. It is the kind of book a teacher quotes to friends, shares with colleagues, and uses as a source of working ideas and inspiration.” —Alice Seletsky, Elementary School Journal 1987 232 pp. Paper $16.50 ISBN 0-674-94593-X White Teacher, With a New Preface with a new introduction VIVIAN GUSSIN PALEY Reviews of previous edition: “Inspirational and motivating…It is a book commendable to teachers, parents, and anyone else who wishes to under- stand him/herself better and is willing to continue to grow.” —Educational Studies “In this humane and beautifully written account, Paley describes her progress in learning to deal more openly with her pupils’—and her own—perceptions of race.

KRAMER “This is an original and important contribution to the cultural anthropological field of sociodemography and family studies. Overall it gives us a critical addition to demographic transition studies by providing an explanatory framework for the maintenance of high fertili- ty in a subsistence agricultural context. In Karen Kramer’s hands life history theory pro- vides a powerful critique of standard wealth flow theory. Just as important, her methods of measuring child productivity set a new standard and probably invalidate or at least call into question traditional measures of net child productivity.” —Raymond Hames, University . . .
