Making literature and learning relevant to students is inextricably linked to giving them ownership in an English classroom. This essay looks at the Eurocentric nature of the study of literature and the problems that creates when trying to make canonical texts relevant through the paradigm of race. The ambiguous role of literature as an empowering and oppressive force is discussed from the perspective of the student and teacher alike. Race relations in the classroom are explored through the public and private dialogue initiated through the teaching of Othello in an East End comprehensive school.
