I had to read this for a class. I hated every minute of it and spent so much time swearing at the blatant political indoctrination that it attempts that I had to really force myself to read it to comply with class requirements. If you believe that everyone is a victim, then this is the book for you. If you think it's the adult educator's job to make people realize how they have been victimized, then this is the book for you. Since I believe that the adult educator's job is to help people improve their lives and realize their own potential by assisting them in acquiring new knowledge and skills, this book was not merely annoying but actively offensive. I could not think of a more useless text for any education course. It is not a handbook or a manual in any sense and does not provide useful information: no strategies, no methods, no nothing. ( )
