I was originally assigned this to read for my multiculutural counseling course while getting my undergraduate psychology degree. A wonderful book for anyone who is just begining to approach the topic of race in the united states whether on a personal exploration of identity or in wanting to understand how race effects you on a more proffesonal level. It is a good introduction, guiding you through the different stages of achieving identity from childhood to adulthood. It also has good points on s...more
A must read for parents of bi-racial and multi-racial children. Educators would be well served by spending some real time with this one as well. Wait - STUDENTS would be, hopefully, better served if educators spent time with this one.
This book really helped me understand some things I didn't before. Includes helpful stories and references to make teaching and talking about these issues more intelligent.
A must read for helping professionals - racial identity development
Very interesting and insightful
required reading, life changing

got my wheels turning...
A book that is still timely and so well presented.
I am sorry it took me so long to get to it, knowing it was well respected by many of my peers in the higher education community.
It helps to shed light, perhaps a different light, on race relations in this country.
The underlying themes of privilege can be applied to many situations based on other factors, such as gender, education, age, income, etc.
Very eye-opening and a must read...

The author is the president of Spellman College and she has some very interesting perspectives on race, identity formation and behavior. The book is broken into developmental stages: child, adolescence and adults. It is a compelling treatise on race, context and formation of self. Her theories are interesting and provide things to mull over.
At times it was hard to get through, but it was interesting.
Really good book on understanding the racial construct in the United States. I was initially intrigued because I went to a high school where the lunch tables were split by race. This is a good first step, especially for someone that is white, to understand the deep rooted racism still in this country.
