"The choice of readings in Race, Gender, Sexuality, and Social Class: Dimensions of Inequality and Identity is better than my current text in terms of inequality and steps of closing the gaps." -- Dr. Deden Rukmana"I really like how Race, Gender, Sexuality, and Social Class: Dimensions of Inequality and Identity deals with underlying concepts rather than difference by x, y, or z." -- Ana Villalobos"I appreciate the historical, theories of difference, and identity issues as fundamental for understanding diversity....There appears to be a logical and progressive flow from one section to the other, ending with a constructive note with tools for social change." -- Carmen I. Aponte, Ph.D.
