Great book. - I loved this book, got it for a Race, Gender, Class and Ethnicity class at school. I will keep it forever, its just a great book. I would recommend it to anyone interested in this subject, it has case studies and thoughts on each by the author.

Itll do - I read this book for my Human Diversity and Societal Oppression class in graduate school. I found it to be an easy read with some very well written pieces. I enjoyed the format of the book which broke up the sub sections into manageable pieces (which was nice considering this book is pretty stout in size). All in all... an interesting read that will open your eyes to the struggles of others.

If you must... - I had to read this book for a womens studies class. While I found there to be some interesting and enlightening parts, I found that it lacks objectivity. It often incorrectly blends broad brush strokes of authors opinion with fact. Often, I found references to an issue(s) with absolutely no way to determine its validity. This book more often than not gives vent rather than instruct.

Avoid this one. - If you are Caucasian, a man, and have money, this book is not for you. Page after page is minorities and woman crying, sobbing etc etc about how bad they have it and whose fault it is. If women and minorities hate Caucasian men with money, why is there one voted in every 4 years. Quit crying and vote.
