Through Whose Eyes?: Exploring Racism: Reader, Text and Context
Beverley Naidoo
Trentham Books, 1992

This is the story of a year in an English class where all the literature read by the 13/14-year-old white students was written from perspectives strongly indicting racism. The reader-response work with students, both written and oral, provides fascinating insight into the transaction between reader and text.
