Review
“[This book’s] structure and content address comprehensively what I perceive to be the core content and pedagogical issues related to teaching about race and racism. It provides future human service providers with an understanding of the broad issues as well as some of the subtleties that I think the topic requires.”
“This book is long overdue! It has all of the elements that are crucial for all individuals and organizations of this US/American society of understanding about the legacy and ongoing effects of racism. It includes exercises on personal self-reflection which is a crucial skill for people to learn, enhance, or hone. It is an active partner for anyone invested in assuming the challenge of engaging in anti-racism training, practice, and advocacy.”
“[This book presents] a comprehensive look at racism in all its complexity and its many components and dynamics within our society and the helping professions.”
“[This] is an excellent book for social workers and other helping professions–[it] gives enough theory and includes practice applications.”

I thought this text was very well written and actually quite readable which made for a good experience with what can be a very difficult and upsetting topic to study. The authors are also very sensitive to the possible feelings and reaction of the reader, something that I’ve never experienced in a Racism text before. I highly recommend this book.
This book is an amazing resource to have for anybody interested in thinking about or talking about race and racism, especially as people who are in positions of power in the helping professions. The concepts of the book are easy to understand and challenge every bit of how we think and live in our racialized world.
This important work deserves to be read outside of the sociology classes for whom it was obviously designed. Highly readable and well researched it is a book that is a major addition to the literature on race in the US
