The convergence of race, ethnicity, and gender : multiple identities in counseling

My recommendation to teachers? It's not a bad book, especially for students new to the field of multicultural awareness, but if you can find another textbook with better writing and similar information, don't pick this one (unless students have to pay exorbitant prices).
