Ann Braithwaite

    27 juin 1912 – 12 décembre 2016

    Les contributions littéraires d'E.R. Braithwaite sont profondément ancrées dans son exploration des conditions sociales et de la discrimination raciale. Confronté à des obstacles de carrière en raison de son statut de minorité ethnique, il est passé de la physique à l'écriture, utilisant ses expériences pour éclairer les défis d'être un étranger. Son travail adopte souvent une approche autobiographique, offrant des aperçus profonds sur la vie d'éducateurs et de travailleurs sociaux luttant pour l'égalité. La voix distinctive de Braithwaite réside dans sa représentation puissante et honnête des inégalités sociales et dans sa défense de la compréhension et des droits de l'homme.

      The all-time Classic schoolroom drama - as relevant as today's headlines ... He shamed them, wrestled with them, enlightened them, and - ultimately - learned to love them. Mr. Braithwaite, the new teacher, had first to fight the class bully. Then he taught defiant, hard-bitten delinquents to call him "Sir," and to address the girls who had grown up beside them in the gutter as "Miss". He taught them to wash their faces and to read Shakespeare. When he took all forty-six to museums and to the opera, riots were predicted. But instead of a catastrophe, a miracle happened. A dedicated teacher had turned hate into love, teenage rebelliousness into self-respect, contempt into into consideration for others. A man's own integrity - his concern and love for others - had won through. The modern classic about a dedicated teacher in a tough London school who slowly and painfully breaks down the barriers of racial prejudice, this is the story of a man's integrity winning through against the odds.
