Read this. It's sometimes easwier to talk about race rather than class--but this is a subject that's been unresolved since the very beginnings of American public education--and long before that. It's even part of the testing and NCLB debate. The author tackles it in ways that are original, personal and sociologically fascinating. A very good read.             Confronting Death: Values, Institutions, and Human Mortality1 review David Wendell Moller Oxford University Press, USA, 1996 great book The condition of the book was just as they described it.

Reid MSW, Dan Gray LCSW Silverleaf Press, 2006 Finally a book for the other person in the relationship It hasn't been until recently that pornography has been accepted as a real addiction.

Robert Moore's new book, Facing ...             The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege19 reviews Robert Jensen City Lights Publishers, 2005 The truth hurts. Very well written observation from one who has experienced white privilege firsthand. For all the negative reviews, I would say that the truth hurts them to admit that everything he says in the book is accurate. Blacks have always known about white privilege. I think the negative reviews are here because someone had the audacity to expose the fact that there IS white privilege. Always has ...             Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care2 reviews Committee on Understanding and Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care National Academies Press, 2003 Incredibly well researched This is a really important national study of health disparities in the US - mainly health disparities between African Americans and Caucasians (but other ethnic groups are occasionally mentioned).

This book was on the short list of texts my German language/culture study abroad course required.
