Title: The Great White Hope
Review: As a young(ish) white female teacher in an urban school district, I wanted to like this book. I bought it a few years ago and hurried home to read it. Try as I might, though, I just could not enjoy it. In fact, it is one of only three books I never finished. Imagine my surprise when it was offered as an option for literature circles in my most recent class (graduate level, no less!) Not only do I believe this book to be a work of fiction (or, perhaps like Law & Order, "based on actual events"), but am disgusted by the white-woman-saves-the-little-poor-minority-children feel.
Is the review positive or negative?
