Reviews |
|
| "I particularly value
Pountney's emphasis on the social context of education. Her knowledge and experience,
combined with her imaginative strategies, make her discussions of issues such as
unemployment, poverty, nutrition and violence unusually thought-provoking… If I were
designing a reading curriculum for New Zealanders generally… Learning Our Living
would be a set text…" Anna Jackson, N.Z. Listener |

|
| "This
is easy reading. There is a refreshing, no-nonsense approach in the writing
style…Charmaine Pountney's Learning Our Living is provocative, powerful and
prophetic. It… wins my own nomination for 'South Pacific Book of the Year'." Robin Aitken, Waiuku and Districts Post |
