OT: ER Braithwaite |
To Ricky with love

ER Braithwaite's classic tale of a West Indian teacher in an East
London school, To Sir With Love, still has much to tell us about race
and class in Britain, says Caryl Phillips

The Observer
To Sir With Love (1959) was the first published book of Edward Ricardo
Braithwaite, who was born in 1920 in British Guiana (present-day
Guyana), the large English-speaking territory on the northeast coast of
South America. His was a relatively comfortable upbringing, being the
son of two Oxford-educated parents, and as a young man he quickly
absorbed the conservative, middle-class manners of the Caribbean
intellectual. He attended Queens College, an elite colonial school in
British Guiana, and went on to study at City College in New York,
before enlisting as a Royal Air Force pilot in England. As Braithwaite
states in To Sir With Love, like many other Caribbean men, he joined
the British armed forces out of a sense of duty, and during the war
years he was ready to die for his country.
