This is a deeply personal exploration of the relationship among race, race discrimination, and school success. Informed by a solid theoretical framework, the author links her personal experience with similar biographical accounts to successfully demonstrate the pervasiveness of color prejudice in the United States...This volume has a broad scope that is likely to appeal to educators from p-16, teacher educators, and librarians. -- Jayne R. Beilke, Professor, Educational Studies Department, Ball State University
