The Student as Nigger

"The Student as Nigger" is the title of an essay and subsequent book by American educator Jerry Farber. The essay first appeared in the Los Angeles Free Press in 1967 and is often cited as one of the first underground publications to receive widespread recognition. It was reprinted over 500 times in the during the 1960s and was published in book form in 1970 by Pocket Books.
