I'm using this textbook for an undergraduate sophomore level course in a nursing program. It's a pretty solid foundation. Like any textbook on multiculturalism, it would have to be 7,000 pages to be comprehensive. Instructors and students will have to add materials to it to become competent. But it serves as a great foundational piece and balances details/examples with length and readability. It also strongly focuses on research and reports to back up their assertions and descriptions. A good book overall.
