Editorial Reviews: Book Description The first reader to cover the scope of oppressions in America, Readings for Diversity and Social Justice covers six thematic issues: racism, sexism, Anti-Semitism, heterosexism, classism and ableism. The Reader contains a mix of short personal and theoretical essays as well as entries designed to challenge students to take action to end oppressive behavior and to affirm diversity and racial justice. Each thematic section is broken down into three divisions: Contexts; Personal Voices; and Next Steps and Action. The selections include over 90 essays from some of the foremost names in the field-bell hooks, Cornel West, Michael Omi, Iris Marion Young, Gloria Anzaldua, Michelle Fine, Gloria Steinem, Richard Rodriguez, Beverly Daniel Tatum, Michael Kimmel, Patricia Hill Collins and many other distinguished scholars.

Readings for Diversity and Social Justice: An Anthology on Racism, Sexism, Anti-Semitism, Heterosexism, Classism, and Ableism June 16, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful 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. Culturally Congruent September 3, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful 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. Great Anthology on Oppression and Liberation October 28, 2006 6 out of 7 found this review helpful I found this book to be a fabulous accompaniment to the Teaching for Social Justice and Diversity book. It succeeds in trying to cover an extremely broad subject area. Are You Guilty of Commiting an -ism? June 11, 2006 7 out of 44 found this review helpful If you are white, you need to read this book to find out how evil your are. Then, you can begin deconstructing your whiteness. If you are a person of color, you need to read this book to find out how helpless you are. Those evil crackers have been oppressing you, and you didn't even know it. It's time to get angry and play identity politics. You are not an individual, but the member of a tribe. Gender, race and class determine everything from how you butter your toast in the morning to the direction the wind is blowing on any given day. I swear. I read this book on my way to getting a California teaching credential and, while reading it, underwent an epiphany of Krakatoan proportions: We have met the enemy, and he is us. Now go forth and conquer your -isms and everybody else's. You'll find that the feeling of moral superiority is quite heady. Ciao. Multicultural Requirement for Teacher Credential Program, CA March 1, 2006 4 out of 17 found this review helpful Book is a collection of narratives from perspectives of each diverse group. Not a joy to read, but not bad for a college text either. Personally I would much rather read short narratives than long and boring texts. However, the multicultural agenda is really what this is book is all about. Some readings are offensive; generalities are made and stir some controversy in and out of the classroom. I rated it 3 stars because it is not as bad as most multicultural texts from other classes.
