{"product_id":"my-life-howard-anglin-palmer-9781039120228","title":"My Life: Overcoming Classism through Faith and Perseverance","description":"For a boy growing up in Jamaica in the 1940s, going to school was not a given. Colonialism, colourism, and classism created educational barriers for anyone who wasn't rich or white. But from these early struggles, Howard Palmer devoted his career to education, even earning a PhD.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis memoir covers the challenges and joys of Dr. Palmer's life, from his family and Jamaican upbringing, his immigration to Canada in the 1960s, his lifelong educational pursuits and raising his daughters after the tragic death of his wife. He also shares his insightful research into how Ontario's educational system was failing Black boys-findings that are sadly still relevant today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy sharing his story, Dr. Palmer hopes to encourage readers to examine their own personal journeys and gain a deeper understanding of persisting against the odds. My Life is a thorough, honest, and inspirational story of a Jamaican Canadian man overcoming obstacles through faith and determination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Anglin Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1039120229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781039120228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Howard Anglin Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044479267071,"sku":"9781039120228","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_735af324-d3cb-429e-82e2-575a55e41f2d.jpg?v=1684973089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-life-howard-anglin-palmer-9781039120228","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
