We need to get beyond internal us versus them rhetorics of hate to have any hope for our students to get beyond these mentalities in the real world beyond our classrooms.--from TEACHING AT THE CROSSROADS This book offers college and high school teachers a useful set of strategies for teaching literature by women of color.
