Brimming with truthfully and keenness, The schooling of a WASP chronicles one white woman's discovery of racism in Nineteen Sixties the US. First released in 1970 and hugely acclaimed by means of reviewers, Lois Stalvey's account is as well timed now because it was once then. approximately two decades later, with gruesome racial incidents taking place on collage campuses, in neighborhoods, and in offices all over, her account of non-public encounters with racism continues to be deeply demanding. Educators and common readers attracted to the subtleties of racism will locate the tale poignant, revealing, and profoundly moving.
