《儿童读物杂志》(Horn Book)书评
This lucid, well-researched book covers the usual terrain--race as a social construct, stereotypes, white privilege--but also less familiar topics. Altman shares numerous anecdotal examples and the insights of psychologists, scientists, and anthropologists. Also featured are dark, poorly reproduced photos of infamous bigots and cringe-inducing stereotypical images. Bib., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 6-9. Of these new entries in the Teen Issues series, Racism and Ethnic Bias is more likely to be requested. Still, if a request is made, Stepfamilies covers the basics, reflecting real-life experiences and offering sound advice. A chapter on gay stepfamilies is included. Racism and Ethnic Bias (a standard report topic) is an uncomfortable book to read, with its many realistic examples of ugly statements and behavior. The author describes racial profiling, genocide, and other related topics, with an emphasis on the racism of whites against blacks, Latinos, and Asians. Ethnic bias is given brief treatment. The book ends on a hopeful note, with a chapter titled "Taking a Stand." Both books are illustrated with black-and-white photographs and include notes, Internet addresses, and further readings. --Susan Dove Lempke
