"I was very moved by this book. I believe it is effective both because it is important scholarship and because it contains such profoundly moving human stories. . . . By letting the members of these families speak for themselves, the author and photographer capture the diversity of their experiences. Readers are forced to face the complexity of these families, and also to face the racism in our society that makes life so difficult for many of them. I especially like the fact that even the children are allowed to speak their mind; after all, it is they who are often the undeserving recipients of bigotry."--Sonia Nieto, author of Affirming Diversity "I think this book will make a valuable contribution to the work being done nationwide to break down barriers between white people and people of color and it will help strengthen the anti-bias commitment being fostered in many schools in this country. . . . The overall presentation is effective and powerful."--Andrea Ayvazian, Director, Communitas, Inc., "I was very moved by this book.
