5 out of 5 stars Good information ~very readable!   November 17, 2008
This book was very comprehensive and also very readable. This was not a boring textbook at all. Many of the reading helped me to see things in a different light.


5 out of 5 stars Thoroughly explained - Excellent book   October 24, 2008
I read this book cover to cover. br /br /There is so much history in the book, well explained, it made me see how far back we have have been dealing with injustice across the world. br /br /Prejudice, discrimination, oppression in all it's forms throughout the ages, including issues related to race, religion, gender and more. Every chapter is bringing historical facts making us realize how we are the way we are, and how we can learn to change this behavior.br /br /Learning the roots of the problems is key, and this book does an excellent job at describing every aspect of our social backgrounds.br /br /Definitely an important book to take into the classroom and a definite read for those of you who want to be part of the change.

Excellent Reading. I am teaching a graduate level Human Diversity course and my students love the book. This book is also an excellent discussion starter.

Good collection of writings on these issues. I had this as a text for a course I took and I thought it was a good book--rare for a textbook.

This book is offers such a diverse amount of information about various group populations. The only group it doesn't touch on is Ageism, but it is great for gaining inorfation from individuals who have been oppressed or discriminated in some way. Great for anyone interested in learning about diverse populations.
