The Jacket (book)
''The Jacket'' is a 2001 children's book by author Andrew Clements. It was first published in 2001 as a serialized story that ran in the ''Boston Globe'' and was later published in book format on August 1, 2003 through Atheneum Books.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://booklistonline.com/The-Jacket-Andrew-Clements/pid=521253 )〕 The work centers upon a young boy that discovers that although he doesn't identify as racist or discriminatory, he does have deep seated and unconscious prejudices that prompt him to immediately suspect the worst about a black student at his school.
Clements based the book's premise around a similar situation that occurred in his life, where his brother mistakenly believed that an African-American boy had stolen his jacket and confronted him over the theft.〔 Since its release, the book has been utilized in classrooms as a way to illustrate different types of racism.
==Synopsis==
Schoolboy Phil has never viewed himself as racist, but he's forced to rethink his stance when he accuses Daniel of stealing an imported jacket. Daniel, who is African-American, was given the jacket as a gift by his grandmother, who works for Phil's mother as a housekeeper and had received the jacket as a hand-me-down. Phil immediately begins to rethink his actions, wondering if he would have treated the situation differently if Daniel had been white instead of black. Tortured by self-doubt, Phil looks at his immediate surroundings and is saddened when he realizes that he has likely been influenced by his father, who is openly bigoted.
