Reviews

Girls of Color, Sexuality, and Sex Education successfully accomplishes at least 4 things. With regard to content, it summarizes and critiques how girls of color (especially Black girls) think, talk, and learn about sexuality, by reviewing the extant literature on body image, respect, the sex education classroom, and media through a feminist lens. ... Overall, this volume is a welcome addition to the literature on sexuality and sex education and will be of value to students and scholars. (Michael R. Stevenson, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (6), February, 2017) This academically based but easy-to-read book provides an analysis of sexuality and sex education for girls of color that can be useful in stimulating thought and discussion in any context where sex education takes place ... . The book may be particularly important to girls of color, as they consider how their experience may or may not fit the book's depiction, and it may communicate to them how important their voices are in sexuality debates. (Donna Marie Casta�eda, Psychology of Women Quarterly, Vol. 41 (4), 2017)
