Reviews for The Class

The Class is a prime document of French postcolonial blues, though its relevance to American urban education could not be any greater if it had been made in the Bronx or Trenton or South Los Angeles. -David Denby, The New Yorker Francois Begaudeau's award-winning [The Class ] . . . trains the reader to look anew at the republican school and study the republican legacy with fresh eyes. -Yale Review
