Richard Cleveland reviewed Majority and Minority: The Dynamics of Race and Ethnicity in American Life on January 30, 2016 Majority and Minority
Hugely influential text for me when I was deeply involved in HIV prevention, a harm reduction neophyte, and before I was in the struggle for sex worker rights. Some of the material and language may feel dated but this was a Trail blazing book that really helped me chart my path and laid out some serious truths that the public health community needed to hear.
