Luther M. Siler's long-awaited book about teaching, SEARCHING FOR MALUMBA is a collection of nearly 150 of the best of his essays and blog posts from 15 years of writing about American urban education. Alternately hilarious, sad, furious, horrifying, touching and frequently profane, Siler's writings shed a light on what teaching in America's urban schools during the reign of the No Child Left Behind Act and the rise of standardized testing is really like. Available as an ebook and in print.
