Summary: Really difficult to read, but it was a requirement!
Comment: Such a difficult book to read. It felt as if the authors had 2 chapters of concrete evidence and then took these 2 chapters and tried to expand them to fill an entire book. I felt as if I was having deja-vu throughout my entire reading of it. Some topics that I thought had been clarified again kept popping up and restasted the same idea in a couple pages worth.
The author's need to take a course in which they don't use 6 different words to say the same thing. I read about a paragraph of information and the author's didn't clarify the idea, they kept giving me the run-around. For example: " This race can be an exciting, joyful, enthusiastic, jolly, joyous, blithful, peppy, perky, blessful, and gleeful bunch. " These author's really let you know that they used a Thesaurus, but after a couple hundred pages of reading sentences or paragraphs full of synonyms it really gets annoying.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent tool for a touchy topic
Comment: I've used this book teaching 10 classes in Multicultural Education for California State University at Hayward. It covers some "hot spots" like gender, special education, race, and social class. I've never had a student who expressed dislike for the book. It provokes dissent, emotions, and great discussions but maintains a well researched and professional style. I would recommend it to any professor of multicultural education and I eagerly await the 4th edition, coming this July!
