Publisher's Synopsis
Dyslexia is a critical issue worldwide.There is widespread ignorance about it and the consequences can be devastating. Of the 700 books on dyslexia in the British Library, apparently not one is written by a black author and none deals with the issue of race and culture. How is dyslexia viewed in the black communities? What needs to be done to raise awareness? How can dyslexics themselves become more conscious and confident? This book makes a start, looking in an accessible way at statistics, famous dyslexic and the historical background and the theoretical framework.
