Review # 1 was written on 2008-06-13 00:00:00 Stacey Brunson This reader presents an impressive roster of inspiring and esteemed contemporary writers from across the globe. This was the main attraction for adopting the text. In practice in the classroom, many of the stories and the few essays that are interspersed proved to be inaccessible to students. Though the writers, i.e. Silko, Soyinka, Said, Achebe, etc. are incredibly impressive, many of the students could not relate to the texts, which made class discussions and assignments difficult.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-11 00:00:00 Douglas Drake I would have never read this book if it wasn't assigned reading for a Multicultural Literature (ML) class. With that said, I am so pleased to have been able to read this book. The stories all connected with me in one way or another. Some I loved, some not so much. Overall, I view ML in a new light and will seek out these authors and this genre in the future.
