A very thought provoking book
I read this book for a sociology class and thought it was very very good.It has many short stories which are very thought provoking and deal with very important issues, problems and observations in our society.It speaks about crime, socialization, culture, groups, social inequality, the economy, social change etc.These seem like technical terms but it is a very easy to read and straight forward book.I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. ...

Essential read for Americans that care about our freedom!
I highly recommend this book for any American that cares about our civil liberties.Mark Sidel does an excellent job examining the potential effects of anti-terror policies, including initiatives hidden in state legislations.He also investigates how anti-terror policies in the U.S. compare with anti-terror polices in other countries like the U.K., Australia and India.Americans that care about the freedoms that we hold dear should definitely buy and read this book.It will really inform you and make you think. ...

Best overview of the background of the gay rights movement
This book goes behind the headlines of current issues like same-sex marriage, gay rights controversies, and religious attitudes, to give a comprehensive understanding of the history of the gay and lesbian rights movement.It includes a comprehensive selection of documents, from the early colonial period to the present, tied together with historical explanations that put these sources into clear perspective.Clearly written and astute, this book helped me learn more about the Native American respect for same-sex relationships, the roots of Christian opposition to same-sex love, and the conflict between those values and the American ideology of individual freedom and liberty.Read more

Legal Vengeance
I bought this book with a somewhat self serving hope that the senior Jackson's very entertaining oratory style would be peppered through the text.Regardless of whether I agree or disagree with him, I have always found his public speaking to be entertaining and far livelier then most politicians or activists.With this being said I was disappointed to find out that Jesse Sr. really only was present in the forward and those few pages were very restrained.Not one three subject list, not a rhyme to be found, no fire and brimstone, just a smooth and calm forward to a book that explains a thought out position on capital punishment.This calm tone was held through the book, even in areas that most people start to get a bit excited about, religion, racism etc, the authors kept a level course.Of course to be taken seriously they had to, plus there is the celebrity factor of Jesse Sr. that probably hurts as much as it helps in making the book credible.
A guidebook for future generations
Anybody with any viewpoint whatsoever on the subject of the death penalty will want, and need, to review the hard anecdotes that are interspersed within this brief but wide-ranging overview.For those of you who oppose the death penalty on moral grounds, you will fine augmentation for the foundations of your feelings.For those who aren't sure but who are afraid that innocent people might be executed under an imperfect system, the authors provide you with frightening evidence that you're right.And for those looking toward a legislative reconsideration of the entire subject, the appendix is invaluable.

Kudos to the editors
This book is outstanding in its analysis of this important issue.Particularly insightful is the work of editors (ghost writers?) Denis Gaynor and John McFarlane.Mssrs. Gaynor and McFarlane outline in glorious, living detail the horrors of a death penalty culture. Highly recommended.Read more

Author undoes her own argument
Guerrero's book is self-effacing; she undoes her own argument. Well written history of affimative action at Boalt
Guerrero provides both a well-written account of the rise and fall of affirmative action at Boalt Hall, and an articulate argument for the merits, especially in law school, of affirmative action. Her writing eschews ideological hyperbole and throughout remains grounded in the real issues affecting the greater population by a lack of diversity in law schools and the law community at large. Even those who disagree with affirmative action will find this book of interest for the readable account of, and insight into, the students of Boalt Hall who felt compelled to fight for their beliefs.

An Important Read!!
This book is thoroughly researched and compellingly argued. Guerrero takes a case study of the effects of affirmative action at Boalt Law School at the University of California at Berkeley, which was forced to abandon affirmative action several years ago. She concludes that the new policy has been a disaster for the educational quality of the school, which greatly benefits from the presence of a wide range of backgrounds and experiences among its students.
