5.0 out of 5 stars Making a difference in a community, October 15, 2006

This review is from: The Other Side of Middletown: Exploring Muncie's African American Community (Paperback)
It gives me great pleasure to write the first review for this magnificent book. Not only is it for the student, it is for the lay reader as well.

As to the qualitative researcher-this is a must. It brings together many writers, including those in the community, and gives us a real picture of what is going on in Middletown (Muncie, Indiana) in the present. This community came together to tell their story, along with Lassiter, Campbell, and others.

For the lay reader, this is easily read and understood. My only question is...why don't other communities do as this one has??? Perhaps telling our stories, talking with one another...that might make a difference in the way we get along in America. Not only is the story about race...it combines ethnic beliefs with age and gender differences...

I rec. this book for anyone interested in what can and will happen when a few people try to make a difference...
