Summary Of Amazing Grace Kozol

Amazing grace is a good book to read. After reading this book, I think the author wants to tell us a big problem is the segregation of poor social class in South Bronx. He tries to explain the living condition of these poor people, and the inequality between them. On top of this, he also described that the public administration tried to abandoned this neighborhood.
Kozol divided the book into six chapters. The whole book organized through interview and interaction with children, teacher and others people such as pastor and nurse. Moving from individual experience through interview in order to criticize the government allow these problems to exist in the United States. In the end, he called upon everyone should have a merciful attitude and help people who suffer poverty to have a normal life.
The first two chapters are organized around the narrative of living conditions of poor people. The book opens up to take the reader to one of the poorest neighborhoods
In the book, he writes down the conservation between him and interviewees which is more persuasive. Moreover, he also uses data and personal story to make people think poverty and racism are big problems. After reading through the whole book, I think two of these questions are worthwhile and I am satisfied with the answers. However, I would recommend this book to the people who do poverty project. However, I will not recommend this book to academic people to reader. This is because I think at the end the book the author does not provide any useful solutions to solve racial segregation. The author only urges people to have virtue to stop treat poor bad. If he could provide actual solutions to these problem instead of tell people do not have negative stereotype about other racial people. It would be more readable to academic people and may be they could use as reference to support their
