Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up-Two books that introduce all aspects of their respective topics and lead students to additional sources and organizations for further information. Shorter and less sophisticated than the "Opposing Viewpoints" series, they nevertheless give readers clear introductions to weighty contemporary issues. Interestingly written chapters are short but comprehensive. Well-chosen illustrations add visual interest and provide additional information. Lee begins with an explanation of the distinction between legal and illegal immigrants. He then enumerates the reasons illegals come here; looks at their economic impact on the U.S.; reactions to the problem; and the role of the border patrol; defines political asylum; and discusses what America's response should be to illegal aliens. Censorship presents a historical overview, then deals with rights in conflict; how time, place, and manner help to determine the exercise of free speech; and explores the issues of incitement, fighting works, obscenity, and compelling interest. Balanced introductions to two thought-provoking subjects.
