Just finished this insightful book last weekend, and I must say that it is the best book on race in America that I've read in the past several years. It reads well and is full of helpful resources. A must-read for anyone interested in finding unity in diversity in America.

Both powerful and eloquent, James Waller's compelling examination of racism in America is beyond timely-- it is crucial for our nation's evolving consciousness. Nowhere is the convergence of race and culture felt more acutely than in our public schools. Face to Face, therefore, is critical reading for anybody -- teacher, administrator, parent -- who recognizes the role, potential, and responsibility of our schools in fostering racial reconciliation. I highly recommend this book!

It is difficult to accept the truth about ourselves as human beings and Waller's book takes the daring step of doing just that. We are all guilty of racist behavior no matter how well we have been brought up to love and accept one another. Waller tells us to face the truth about ourselves and open our eyes in order to diminish the impact of racism in future generations. It took guts to write this book.
