Bruce Baum drives the reader to a much more comprehensive understanding of modern race relations through this careful study of what it means to be caucasian. The ability to sift reality from the socially ascribed labels and preconceptions of race separates Baum from others who have attempted to address this area in the past. His work is deeply insightful and led me to a clearer understanding of my own roots and place in this world. Factual and simultaneously poetic, Baum's writing is to modern political science what Dylan was to the music scene in the 60's and 70's. I will be using this work in my Multicultural Studies program next fall and will eagerly anticipate Baum's work in the future.

The book is in excellent shape as promised (new). Only one problem, it took 2 weeks to arrive.
