Review:
"I really like this book and I bet that students will love it. It's not overly theoretical, and it relies on real-world examples. That's a unique and desirable combination of features."--Matt Huffman, University of California, Irvine
"The use of stories is effective in illustrating the ideas of the book; stories draw students in and generate lively discussions in class. The discussion questions at the end of each story are spot on."--Deborah Safron, Michigan State University
"I like Schwalbe's inclusion of steps to action and positive social change. This will be good for students who might otherwise feel hopeless after realizing how entrenched and pervasive inequality is in our world."--Tennille Allen, Lewis University
