In 1995, Delpit published Other People's Children: Cultural Conflict in the Classroom. Although the passage analyzed in this article comes from a larger work, it was written by Delpit (1995) as a stand-alone discourse. This excerpt includes many of the concepts that Delpit believes are basic cultural conflicts in the classroom, namely stereotypes, childhood deficit assumptions, and student isolation and invisibility. Delpit's goal is to "remove the dynamics of oppression that are inherent in any classroom... which manifest themselves when (primarily white) teachers spend time with 'other people's children'" (Delpit, 1995, p. .69). Through Other People's Children: Cultural Conflict in the Classroom, Delpit lays the foundation for multicultural education and details ways in which teachers can resolve the inherent problems that arise as a result of the interaction of many cultures in the classroom. The purpose of this article is an analysis of this text through an analytical, interpretative and normative reading. Analytical reading Delpit's article supports the theory of multicultural education. She invites the reader to travel with her "to other worlds...learning to see however dimly, through the haze of our cultural lenses" (Delpit, 1995, p.69). Delpit's article identifies four problems related to educating poor and culturally diverse children that she believes educators must solve to achieve multiculturalism in the classroom. The first problem identified by Delpit is the cultural clash that often exists between students and the school. According to Delpit (1995) this culture clash manifests itself in two ways, through teachers misinterpreting students' intentions and abilities as a result of a difference in language and interaction styles, and in the medium of paper. ..'s Children, is an important tool in teacher training to help them see that teaching is not a politics-free practice that has little to do with social justice. By reading multicultural theorists like Delpit, teachers are better prepared to address issues such as injustice and to “remove blinders consisting of stereotypes, monocultural teaching methodologies, ignorance, research distorted by social distance, and racism” in classrooms (Delpit, 1995 , pg.69).SummaryDelpit believes that effective multicultural education for teachers is essential. By teaching educators effective ways to communicate with poor students and students of color, teachers are prepared to address issues that arise due to cultural conflicts. When teachers are able to appreciate the differences their students possess, stereotypes can be broken down in the classroom.
