Horn Book (Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2018)

A substantive series that examines race as a social construct and racism from many different viewpoints, both historical and contemporary. Although concentrating on the African American experience, the books cover to a lesser extent problems faced by Latinos, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. Discussion starters, archival and contemporary photos, and other materials add to the presentations. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
