Books: A Different Kind Of Education Story

"There's gangs and green cards, Sandinistas, Cubans, Thais, the fall of Paris and the rise of the Chinese Beverly Hills--generations of alienation and assimilation--and navigating it all, me, a white guy, trying not to screw up his son."

That's Jesse Katz describing his new memoir The Opposite Field which is about the experiences of a Jewish dad and his half-Nicaraguan son reviving a Little League in the immigrant suburb of La Loma, California.  Katz is a Pulitzer prize winner reporter and the book has been positively reviewed all over the place including here.  Previously on this topic: Great Stories About Education (Medill Winners), The Anti-TFAer (about Test Of Their Lives).
