"The author boldly addressed an issue that most people wish to ignore …[Leonardo] succeeded in beginning a fresh discourse on race by asking hard questions while presenting an even more difficult reality accompanied with possible solutions."–Education Review, March 2010"Leonardo’s major contribution…is his fresh analysis of race and race theory. He offers an in-depth analysis of race and critical theories and makes laudable efforts to broaden them and, when possible, to interrogate and reconcile competing ideas.…The book is an excellent demonstration of how CST can be used in analyses of race and a valuable asset for social theorists and educators."--Contemporary Sociology: A Journal of Reviews, 2010, 39: 318-319
