I have to say how vastly uncomfortable it was to read Chapter 4 where enslaved people were repeatedly referred to as “slaves.” The copyright is 2015, but that is recent enough for the change in recognizing people’s identity and dignity before their forced role. Please consider contacting the publisher to change this, as I plan to do.

The type of book no one ever reads unless made to do so for a class or workshop, ergo, my reading of same. As usual, some lofty and great ideas that take little to no concern for how today's public school classroom works in America.
