Getting Real About Race

E-kniha

Getting Real About Race is an edited collection of short essays that address the most common stereotypes and misconceptions about race held by students, and by many in the United States, in general.

Key Features

Each essay concludes with suggested sources including videos, websites, books, and/or articles that instructors can choose to assign as additional readings on a topic.
Essays also end with questions for discussion that allow students to move from the "what" (knowledge) to the "so what" (implications) of race in their own lives.
In this spirit, the authors include suggested "Reaching Across the Color Line" activities at the end of each essay, allowing students to apply their new knowledge on the topic in a unique or creative way.
Current topics students want to discuss are brought up through the text, making it easier for the instructor to deal with these topics in an open classroom environment.
