Braden, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, North Carolina State University ""Going beyond superficial 'feel good' or 'feel bad' ideologies to probe what really makes a difference in meeting the needs of often underserved populations, Craig Frisby provides a comprehensive, rigorous, well-written, and entertaining (honest!) work that addresses the intersection of race, ethnicity, and education.""
