A New Day in the Delta

A fresh and appealing memoir of the experience of a white college graduate in need of a job as the Vietnam War reached its zenith. This is David Beckwith’s revealing and often amusing story of the year of mutual incomprehension between an inexperienced white teacher and a classroom of black children who had had minimal contact with any whites.

O poveste memorabila si proaspata despre experienta unui absolvent de facultate alb care avea nevoie de un loc de munca in timp ce razboiul din Vietnam atingea apogeul. Aceasta este povestea revelatoare si adesea amuzanta a lui David Beckwith despre anul de neintelegere reciproca dintre un profesor alb fara experienta si o clasa de copii de culoare care avusesera un contact minim cu albii.
