I really liked this book but found that it wouldn't meet the needs of my students. It only gives them part of the picture, in other words. Since the content of the course is on Antiracist School Counseling, while this book is highly relevant, it didn't provide future counselors with everything they needed to confront racism in schools. I can see myself using this in another situation thought, like a book group I am hoping to put together for students.
