For integration of special needs students to succeed, teachers and caregivers must be aware of the challenges inclusion can present, and engage in thoughtful planning and follow-through. This book provides information and support for early childhood staff with special needs children in their classrooms. The introduction describes the child with special needs and why this child is in a regular class. The second chapter addresses dealing with teacher's feelings about persons with special needs, while the third chapter suggests areas in need of consideration when preparing oneself and the physical environment to accommodate such children. The child with special needs and ways to assist with integration are discussed in chapter 4, while techniques that the staff can use to encourage acceptance and understanding of children with special needs by children with typical needs are suggested in chapter 5. Chapters 6 and 7 outline, respectively, working with parents of both groups of children and working with other service agencies.

In London Is The Place for Me, Kennetta Hammond Perry explores how Afro-Caribbean migrants navigated the politics of race and citizenship in Britain and reconfigured the boundaries of what it meant to be both Black and British at a critical juncture in the history of Empire and twentieth century transnational race politics. She situates their experience within a broader context of Black imperial and diasporic political participation, and examines the pushback-both legal and physical-that the migrants' presence provoked. Bringing together a variety of sources including calypso music, photographs, migrant narratives, and records of grassroots Black political organizations, London Is the Place for Me positions Black Britons as part of wider public debates both at home and abroad about citizenship, the meaning of Britishness and the politics of race in the second half of the twentieth century.
