The Kitchen Boy

Robert D. Zimmerman’s The Kitchen Boy is a fictional account of the only survivor from the Ipatiev House, who retells the dramatic story of the events leading up to the Romanov Family’s death. The novel is set during the Bolshevik/Russian Revolution in the cold, isolated region of Siberia, perfectly correlating with the Royal Family’s disconnection from the rest of their homeland of Russia in its darkest hour. Leonka struggles with decades of guilt because of a horrid event that was ultimately inevitable, but must put aside his guilt so that his granddaughter may correctly fulfill the detailed instructions in his will.

He finds and overcomes a lot of challenges like racism and stereotypes. A lot of people can relate to this book which is why it is so popular and adored by many. People can also find this a cool book while not a book trying to teach them a lesson and while this does have a message, it tries to target younger audiences with cool pictures and a younger protagonist to try to tell kids that it’s normal to experience these kind of things but that you need to be strong, stick up for yourselves and try to do the right thing.

In the article by Gloria Ladson-Billings entitled “New Directions in in Multicultural Education”, she discusses first the different definitions of multiculturalism as well as the tensions these descriptions create, and then proceeds to using critical race theory to explain how it can be incorporated fairly and positively in education. Wittily compares multiculturalism education to jazz, Ladson-Billings (2004) firstly argues that the former is just as beautifully

this statement, it does not answer my question. The problem was not that the text on multicultural counseling failed to address me as an ‘ethnic’ minority or that my position was lost between the black and white, but rather, why we need to identify our selves on the basis of our ‘race’ or colour?.
