This book that I have read in the Literacy, Family and Culture course is about school experiences of people from diverse ethnic groups, such as African American, Asian America, biracial America, European American, Latino American and Native American. Twelve stories were written by different authors having different races, background, and school experience. Many of the writers in the book speak from socially subordinate positions.

As a third person who grew up in a different country so did not have school experience in this country, the stories in this book were shocking to me especially when they revealed that how they were suffered from discrimination in the school system just because of their skin color and their language.

I know that people in this country are very sensitive in discussing about races or ethnicities. But as Broutte pointed out, "differences between cultural groups have important social and educational implications." I would recommned this book to who are interested in multicultural education, even to Korean educators while the stories are what's happening in the U.S. This book is worth reading.
