Lesung: Klassenbuch von Gerda Raidt

All children want things to be fair. But they soon realize that some are favored and others, despite their efforts, don't get ahead. Because they take their own world for granted, they don't see for a long time that differences in background create this injustice.
It is so important that children, in particular, recognize this. Research on classism also calls for intervention in the education system as early as possible. This is precisely what our "Class Book" does: it opens children's eyes to the "subtle distinctions" that Pierre Bourdieu described. Using the example of a primary school class, Gerda Raidt demonstrates how these differences impact life. Whether it's housing, food, manner of speaking, sports, or our engagement with culture, the book vividly illustrates what is unconsciously predetermined for later life.

Gerda Raidt's "Klassenbuch" is the first non-fiction book about classism, for those most affected by it.
