| Readings for Diversity and Social Justice: An Anthology on Racism, Sexism, Anti-Semitism, Heterosexism, Classism, and Ableism by Routledge Culturally Congruent | | This book is offers such a diverse amount of information about various group populations. The only group it doesn't touch on is Ageism, but it is great for gaining inorfation from individuals who have been oppressed or discriminated in some way. Great for anyone interested in learning about diverse populations. | | Readings for Diversity and Social Justice: An Anthology on Racism, Sexism, Anti-Semitism, Heterosexism, Classism, and Ableism by Routledge Great Anthology on Oppression and Liberation | | I found this book to be a fabulous accompaniment to the Teaching for Social Justice and Diversity book. It succeeds in trying to cover an extremely broad subject area. | | Readings for Diversity and Social Justice: An Anthology on Racism, Sexism, Anti-Semitism, Heterosexism, Classism, and Ableism by Routledge Are You Guilty of Commiting an -ism? | If you are white, you need to read this book to find out how evil your are. Then, you can begin deconstructing your whiteness.
If you are a person of color, you need to read this book to find out how helpless you are. Those evil crackers have been oppressing you, and you didn't even know it. It's time to get angry and play identity politics. You are not an individual, but the member of a tribe.
Gender, race and class determine everything from how you butter your toast in the morning to the direction the wind is blowing on any given day. I swear.
I read this book on my way to getting a California teaching credential and, while reading it, underwent an epiphany of Krakatoan proportions: We have met the enemy, and he is us.
Now go forth and conquer your -isms and everybody else's. You'll find that the feeling of moral superiority is quite heady. Ciao. | | Readings for Diversity and Social Justice: An Anthology on Racism, Sexism, Anti-Semitism, Heterosexism, Classism, and Ableism by Routledge Multicultural Requirement for Teacher Credential Program, CA | Book is a collection of narratives from perspectives of each diverse group. Not a joy to read, but not bad for a college text either. Personally I would much rather read short narratives than long and boring texts.
However, the multicultural agenda is really what this is book is all about. Some readings are offensive; generalities are made and stir some controversy in and out of the classroom.
I rated it 3 stars because it is not as bad as most multicultural texts from other classes. | | Readings for Diversity and Social Justice: An Anthology on Racism, Sexism, Anti-Semitism, Heterosexism, Classism, and Ableism by Routledge Readings for Diversity and Social Justice: An Anthology on Racism, Sexism, | | The servise was nothing short of what I expected. Thank you very much. I needed it for a class and I got the books woth time to spare. | | Readings for Diversity and Social Justice: An Anthology on Racism, Sexism, Anti-Semitism, Heterosexism, Classism, and Ableism by Routledge Product Description | | The first reader to cover the scope of oppressions in America, Readings for Diversity and Social Justice covers six thematic issues: racism, sexism, Anti-Semitism, heterosexism, classism, and ableism.
