E. R. Braithwaite Bücher
June 27, 1912 – December 12, 2016
E.R. Braithwaites literarisches Schaffen wurzelt tief in seiner Auseinandersetzung mit sozialen Bedingungen und rassistischer Diskriminierung. Konfrontiert mit beruflichen Hindernissen aufgrund seines ethnischen Minderheitenstatus, wechselte er von der Physik zur Schriftstellerei und nutzte seine Erfahrungen, um die Herausforderungen des Außenseiterdaseins zu beleuchten. Seine Werke verfolgen oft einen autobiografischen Ansatz und bieten tiefe Einblicke in das Leben von Pädagogen und Sozialarbeitern, die sich um Gleichheit bemühen. Braithwaites unverwechselbare Stimme liegt in seiner kraftvollen, ehrlichen Darstellung gesellschaftlicher Ungerechtigkeiten und seinem Engagement für Verständnis und Menschenrechte.

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.
