Like Amazing Grace, this book describes the children of New York's South Bronx, but it is a markedly different book in mood and vantage point. Here, we see life through the eyes of the children, not, as Kozol puts it, from the perspective of a grown-up man encumbered with a Harvard education. Here, too, we meet some dedicated and inspired teachers in an underfunded but upbeat public elementary school, and we return once more to St. Ann's Church and meet the parents and religious figures in the children's lives.
Ordinary Resurrections is in many ways an energized and unexpected answer to the bleakness of Death at an Early Age, the devastating classic Kozol published more than 30 years ago. These children face some of the toughest obstacles that any children face in the United States, yet they refuse to let their spirits be destroyed. Praised by early readers as another classic of unblinking social observation from one of the finest writers ever to work in the genre, Ordinary Resurrections is honest and compassionate, but always piercing in its discernment of right and wrong, hope and despair, in the corridors of power and the nation's poorest streets.
