The only problem with many textbooks that deal with social justice issues is that it doesn't take long for some of the information to become outdated. But still, the best choice!

I recommend this book!

I taught using the previous edition for many years and miss some of the stories that were included in that version. I really like the new edition's review questions. Very glad we are using Saint Mary's Press!
