Review by Texas Reader for Cultural Competence: A Primer for Educators (with InfoTrac®)

This is a horrible book to force on students. I’m in grad school and this book is for my very last class. It’s an elective, but my choice of electives was so slim, that I was stuck with this class.
This book is so awful it makes my eyes cross. The authors wrote it on the premise that all whites are racists (but some just don’t know it or are in denial) and that all “peoples of color” are victims and helpless to overcome it. The authors seem to think that they are the defenders of these poor victims and that they (victims) can never be treated equally unless the authors come to their rescue and teach the naughty whites how to play nice. How condescending is that? But then when you realize that one of the authors is out of Berkeley, that attitude becomes much more clear.
Then there are the PC terms including “European American”. I hate that term.
If you agree that all whites bad and all others good, you’ll love this book. But if you’re honest and realize that the authors premise is faulty from the start, you’ll hate the book as much as I do.
I was going to sell this book after the class is over, but instead I think I’ll just burn it. That is always what should be done with trash.

This was an assigned text for my university course, and we were tested on the content cover to cover. The authors take quite a stand and repeat their opinions over and over again. The further one gets into the text, the more exclamation marks the author uses. Instead of wanting to help change reality or go forth and be a positive role model, I became slightly irritated with the whining. The book is filled with educating about People of Color with an equal amount of complaining.
