Reviews

Irwin and Umemoto skillfully emphasize how racial inequalities have developed in a context that supports the oppression of persons of color... The book is based on extensive ethnographic research, and Irwin and Umemoto approached it in an innovative way, defining themselves as supportive adults rather than as shadowing or participating in the youths' lives. Journal of Children and Poverty
