My Review
| Customer Rating: | | There were no problems in ordering my book. Would buy from amazon anytime. The book is self is very interesting. The chapter are way too long but a good read. |
Promoting a Political Agenda
| Customer Rating: | This text exposes a political agenda citing "facts" without supporting evidence. Too many examples exist to enumerate but as an example p 206 states that the Justice system in America is an oxymoron since African Americans represent 12% of the population and comprise 50% of the incarcerated population. If this is due to a racist justice system the text certainly does not expose the underlying reasons; nor does it even cite a reference! It acknowledges, only parenthetically, that there is considerable debate as to the extent of racism vs. differential crime rates by race as accounting for the above-mentioned statistical discrepancy.
The text repeatedly emphasizes, and in fact almost singles out, that the United States is a racist country. The text, repeatedly, makes mention that Abraham Lincoln was a racist.
I would recommend 'Human Behavior in the Social Environment' by Longres as a far superior substitute.
This book should have no place in any respectable learning environment. |
