In this book, she examines becoming an anthropologist from the perspective of a black female who grew up in the South during the Civil Rights era. This book intertwines Hutchinson''s childhood experiences and socialization in a segregated South, with her academic experiences and training in anthropology, to examine race and race relations in the United States. Hutchinson specifically examines the impact of the concept of race on her professional development and provides a modern outlook on diversity. Power, Race, and Culture: The Evolution of a Black Anthropologist encourages readers to think about their history, in terms of social development, and to make their own observations about race.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHutchinson's books are very worthwhile reads. She lucidly shows how Black Americans have struggled for centuries to be recognized and accepted in mainstream American society, a struggle thwarted but not defeated by racial oppression and discrimination. -- Michael E.
