Notes
- "Although it’s now more than thirty years since the first modern civil rights legislation was passed by Congress, our society is still imbued with the spirit of racism. Ultimately, the only way to end it will be to raise our children differently than we were raised ourselves. 40 Ways to Raise a Nonracist Child is the first book to provide families with the tools they need to talk openly about racism and to respect and appreciate racial differences." "Including practical suggestions for all families, as well as age-specific advice, the book covers everything from how to select toys for preschoolers to how to face a teenager’s prejudice. In today’s emotion-laden environment, 40 Ways to Raise a Nonracist Child is a book all concerned parents will want to have in their homes."– BOOK JACKET
