Socio-Cultural view of racism and it's origins

Dr. Smedley is not only a wonderful teacher- but an excellent writer as well! In this book she summarizes the evolution of racism and traces it through the bonds of culture to how we percieve it today. It is very interesting, eye opening, though provoking reading! Excellent!!
