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. The Reader contains a mix of short personal and theoretical essays as well as entries designed to challenge students to take action to end oppressive behavior and to affirm diversity and racial justice. Each thematic section is broken down into three divisions: Contexts; Personal Voices; and Next Steps and Action. The selections include over 90 essays from some of the foremost names in the field-bell hooks, Cornel West, Michael Omi, Iris Marion Young, Gloria Anzaldua, Michelle Fine, Gloria Steinem, Richard Rodriguez, Beverly Daniel Tatum, Michael Kimmel, Patricia Hill Collins and many other distinguished scholars.

 Great Anthology on Oppression and Liberation October 28, 2006

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.

This book is a great resource for readings on diversity. I'm always looking for articles to start discussion with others and prompt thoughts of my own. This book has articles on many topics from a variety of perspectives. It is also organized based on identity and also on aspect of social justice education (i.e. indexed as heterosexism and also privilege). I highly recommend it and its companion "teaching for diversity and social justice."

I read this book cover to cover.
There is so much history in the book, well explained, it made me see how far back we have have been dealing with injustice across the world.
Prejudice, discrimination, oppression in all it's forms throughout the ages, including issues related to race, religion, gender and more. Every chapter is bringing historical facts making us realize how we are the way we are, and how we can learn to change this behavior.
Learning the roots of the problems is key, and this book does an excellent job at describing every aspect of our social backgrounds.
Definitely an important book to take into the classroom and a definite read for those of you who want to be part of the change.

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.
