Review Quotes: "What Tatum seeks to do above all is trigger sometimes challenging discussions about race, and infuse those discussions with a reality-based focus on how race affects us all. Her latest book does that beautifully, asking touch questions, and patiently, inclusively seeking answers."--Boston Globe
"Ten years ago, Tatum's book asked the question, 'Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?' Her latest book follows up with a broader question about the nation's readiness to talk honestly about the forces that continue to make race such a thorny issue . . . A probing and ambitious start to a series of books to prod national discussion on issues of race, education, and democracy."--Vanessa Bush, Booklist "Four research-rich, concisely written essays on race and education, including examinations of the 'resegregation of our schools, ' the need for educational curricula and staff that respect the diverse communities they serve, [and] the challenges of interracial friendships . . . What Tatum seeks to do above all is trigger sometimes challenging discussions about race, and infuse those discussions with a reality-based focus on how race affects us all. Her latest book does that beautifully, asking tough questions, and patiently, inclusively seeking answers."--Chuck Leddy, Boston Globe "Another thoughtful, personal and provocative book that will encourage discussion about many of the difficult issues still surrounding race in America--in and out of the classroom."--Marian Wright Edelman, president, Children's Defense Fund
