From School Library Journal:
Grade 8-12-Whether readers have been the victims of hate crimes, the targets of racial slurs, or the perpetrators of such crimes, this volume will help them better understand the causes and realities of racism as it exists in everyday life. Potentially offensive words and phrases are used in various scenarios to make them more realistic and to get readers to empathize with the people involved. Hays stresses that the only way to transcend racist attitudes is through education-the choice is either to learn from and be open to new cultures and ideas while still respecting your own, or to reject them and miss out on new possibilities. The book provides case studies, sections on testing attitudes, and excellent black-and-white photographs. Quotes from civil-rights leaders and humanitarians begin each chapter. Linda Mizell's Racism (Walker, 1992) discusses the history of racist practices.
