Memories of a Politically Incorrect Childhood.
Janko, Edmund
Phi Delta Kappan, v76 n8 p613-14 Apr 1995
Reflects on the experience of attending high school in the mid-1940s in New York State. From a white, working-class neighborhood boasting no college graduates and a handful of high school graduates, the author managed to learn about Ibanez, Goya, Murillo, Velazquez, Neruda, Marti, and Azuela. Questions the need to reform "Eurocentric" curricula. (MLH)
