The book has good pooints in the fact that it does what most have not done, i.e., it has highlighted the diversity and chances of accommodation among races, cultures, and textures.
There is a need for more books of this kind.

For those who want to give multicultural education the justice it deserves, which is why the concept is trying to make its way into American "schooling," DO NOT USE THIS TEXT!!! The authors state information that is both hurtful and untruthful for many groups living in the USA, since before the country's name took hold. An excellent example would be on under "Thinking in the Early Years." African Americans are referred to as immigrants! "Then the slave trade began, bringing in the largest block of immigrants ever, albeit the fact that they came involuntarily" (p. 4). I began using this in my course and now the students are analyzing it for the poor job that the authors have done with history and depicting ethnic/cultural groups in the USA. If you'd like to use this book as an exercise to see how Euro-ethnocentrism deals with people of color, then do so. But don't support nor disseminate this information. It's just bad for everyone.
