Customer Reviews 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful Great book to get exposure to issues that exist in America., March 6, 2016 By Reviewer 007 – See all my reviews This is a great book for people who are uneducated in the inequalities that exist in America. This book was a requirement for my first class discussing issues such as these. I was very fond of this book. I took this class with no history of discussions with issues that this book discusses. I feel the book presents writings that are really easy to understand, even for people who don’t have prior knowledge on these issues. If you want to learn about issues on disparities in America, this is a great book to start. It isn’t intimidating in anyway.
Will make you angry, sad, but glad your teacher is making you dish out the money., August 26, 2016 By Michael P – See all my reviews Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
Systemic racism and how its rooted into many institutions. Most of the chapters are all short 1-3 or 5 page stories that do hit "Race, Class, Gender, and Some." Some "chapters" were extremely liberal…but that was due mainly to the author for those stories. So think of it overall as a collection of stories. If you’re looking for voices from narratives you normally don’t see at the front of Barnes & Nobles (i.e., young girl’s version of life in WWII Japanese internment camps), then this would be a good start.
Some of my classmates were angry and uncomfortable. Great! That meant the reading wouldn’t be too boring. Made me uncomfortable as well reading stuff that many choose to ignore/or refuge in it being in the past. Others started to use the usual political rhetoric/charges to defend either why the book wasn’t great to them, to what they "really" needed to learn, etc. If a book holds info about race, class, gender….in the United States…expect multi-cultural/intersectionality/and your stuff to flip. This ain’t some textbook mentioning a few things, some dates, and where we are now for . Unfortunately, you’re probably going to learn a few things.  I had to read this for my Gender & Society …, November 20, 2015 By jazzymin – See all my reviews Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
I had to read this for my Gender & Society class for college. Definitely worth the money. I usually resell my class books, but this one I decided to keep.
