Indeed. Amy Chua writes of this in Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother - Do read this parents and teachers out there! She forced her kids to practise all the time and then people would tell her how lucky she was to have such ‘talented’ kids! Practice. Work hard. Fly. ✊🏾 https://t.co/WDUZnqdhwr

Great 28 mins analysis of which books are ‘in the canon’. By Lindsay Johns. I am in it briefly. Henry Louis Gates Jnr fought to have black Americans like James Baldwin recognised. But what does this mean for Dickens? Listen and find out! 👍🏽 https://t.co/RPwzh3XfL2
