Reviews for Names We Call Home
"This is not a woe-is-me, tear-jerking collection: It is a dynamic call to action. The many different stories illuminate options, real possibilities for real people to develop strategies to navigate the racist shoals in today's shallow cultural waters. What makes this book groundbreaking are the ways in which the editors use personal stories to validate cultural theory."
