About this title

Review

"This is a collection of personal stories dealing with privilege and oppression that will cause students to think and to honestly examine their own life experiences in light of what they have read." "Finally, a text derived from the diverse personal journeys exploring privilege and oppression. The authors provide an open and vulnerable account of 'coming to know' through painful self-evaluation leading to advocacy and activism. The authors, through their personal and professional journeys, provide compelling arguments and more importantly, hope to individuals seeking their own development. The authors invite a vicarious introspection and opportunity to for others to accept and challenge their own cultural insensitivities."
