Summary:

“Amazing Grace” is a publication about about the hearts of children who grow up in the South Bronx – the poorest congressional district of our nation. The kids we fulfill through the deepening friendships that evolve between Jonathan Kozol and their families defy the stereotypes of metropolitan youth too often presented on TV and in newspapers. Tender, generous, and frequently religiously devout, they speak with unpleasant clarity about the poverty and racial isolation which have wounded but not hardened them. ” about Amazing Sophistication It’s not like being in a prison,” says 15-year-old Isabel. “It’s similar to being concealed.
