Recognized as one of the best non-fiction books of 2022 by Amazon, Jeffrey Boakye's "I Heard What You Said" is an essential read. Boakye, as a black teacher, has navigated through the default white educational structures, experiencing the difference both as a student and a teacher. Through a series of revealing encounters, he explores the biases, silences, and distortions faced by black students and teachers in British education.
The book offers a simultaneously challenging and humorous approach to how we can dismantle racism in the classroom, suggesting significant ways of improvement for all students. With intense personal and political elements, it proves to be "deeply compelling," "intellectually rigorous," and "written with passion."
