Great Insight

Each section of this book was exceedingly well researched and (blissfully) well written. I was a participant at one of the protests the author discusses (I was not part of his research) and was stuck by the accuracy of his portrayal of events - which were superior to those I have read of people who were there. His insight were outstanding. He was able to succinctly state complex issues in a very tangible manner. I highly recommend the book to those interested in the issues of Student Activism and Cultural Diversity.
