Review :
“[Getting Real About Race] hits on many of the major topics one would want to cover in a undergraduate race course. It is accessible, yet draws on research explicitly. The questions it poses and answers are exactly the questions that come up in class.” “My students loved [Getting Real About Race]. They were not overwhelmed with the readings and engaged them. The reads were rigorous and thought provoking, which is what an aspect of critical literacy is.” “Getting Real About Race hits on many of the major topics one would want to cover in an undergraduate race course.
