Pleasant and easy reading. It's quite fast-paced, because of it's extensive subject coverage, and the fact that it's such a small book. A wonderful read, but needs some background knowledge of psychology.

This Multicultural Psychology book really gets you thinking about our society and racism. This book may take you to a pre-encounter stage as far as the way you view others. This book may have you wondering and watching people(ie; Doctors, European Americans, etc.) and the way they act around or toward you. I think this book is a really good book and may have you preceive others differently. If you don't know what goes on in our world you will surely find out!
