1.Where We Stand: Class MattersWhere We Stand: Class Matters
from Routledge
Price: $19.95

Customer Review:
How to sum up bell hooks in under 5 words: not a good writer. She constantly writes that class is the biggest issue of all, which she then contradicts by constantly mentioning the importance of race and money. Worst of all, she repeats the same things over and over to no affect besides being... more info

2.[no image]Gender, Race and Class in Media: A Text-Reader
from Sage Publications, Inc

Customer Review:
First, let me say that the premise of each article was great for a 400- or 500-level college course and prompted many heated discussions.
But, along the lines of the other reviewer... how are we to take it seriously when we come across dozens of grammatical errors, missing words (the most... more info

from Tinwood Books
Price: $31.50

Customer Review:
I was fortunate enough to see the Gee's Bends quilts when they toured in Houston, and they are astonishingly beautiful. The women who made these quilts found an artistic outlet in their functional craft, and these quilts represent the truest form of modern art, sewn well before painters used oil and... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $18.95

Customer Review:
I love the writing in this series, it's such a pleasure to read, I wonder why are so many other textbooks so boring?

from Knopf
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
At its heart, The Race Beat is a thoroughly researched, well-written explanation of how democracy and justice cannot survive without a free, vigilant press.
Yet, the book is hardly a benediction of the American news media: One of the core conflicts throughout is how conservative Southern... more info

from Barricade Books
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
Street talk is an excellent reference book for street slang and "urban speak" The one fault I have the way the book was put together is the lack of a glossary of everyday words with a page number to find the slang.
The slang is arranged A-Z with example sentences. Which is useful but if you... more info
