City tragedy on the Renaissance stage in France
Well...I like the IDEA of this book. However, I felt that it was too repetitive (repeating the same thing multiple times in a chapter).
This book was thought-provoking and helped me to understand my own thoughts and experiences with my racial identity, and realize that I have a lot of white privilege. (This is something I may have thought I had before...but not to this degree of understanding.)
The inconsistent parts of the book being the last half or so. The first half of the book kept emphasizing how no ethnic/racial identity is the same...and the last half were chapters devoted to discussing (& generalizing) each racial group, and then special population (elderly, women, Jewish, GLBT) with tips and suggestions on how to work with each group (which is what it said you couldn't really do..). Oh well.
I feel WHOLE HEARTEDLY that I would have given this book a higher rating if the redundancies were taken out. If you have to say the same thing over and over, and over again...obviously the book should just be shorter.
