I would give the book itself two stars but I'm adding two more out of fairness to the entire experience of the transaction. So, two stars for Schaefer and more stars for .This textbook was required for my Sociology class so I was stuck with having to buy it. I decided to get it in kindle version so I didn't have to schlepp a textbook around. There were many things about the book itself that I did not like. I did not find the book to be objective. To me, the book was more biased than a textbook for a course should be. I feel that Schaefer presents too many of his opinions and viewpoints as hard factual information. At one point he cited his own book as a reference.That being said, if you are forced to get this book for required reading, is - reliable through and through. If you can work and study comfortably with e-books I would definitely recommed renting it. Shell out as little money as possible because you probably won't care to add this book to your permanent collection. I wasn't good at studying from the kindle book format so I ended up having to get a paper version as well. If you are like me and need a tangible book for highlighting and taking notes in the margins and such, I was able to get an unbound version with the holes for a 3-ring binder from my University's bookstore. I was able to take out the chapters that I was working with and put them in a skinny binder so I didn't have to cart around a textbook. The unbound version was about one-third of the price of the text. The pages were a bit thinner than the pages in a hardcover textbook but not enough to matter. Just don't go whipping the pages around or the holes will rip. I am done with my semester and only accidently ripped three or four pages.Good Luck!

I think this book is simplistic and bland in content. It contains many repeated errors in grammar and indexing. I wish my class required a better book to learn from, but it is what it is and I will get an A anyway.
I'm not sure if it deserves one star or two. This book is required for one of my classes that I decided to take to help develop my self toward the hardships endured by minoritys over the past hundred years. I have to admit however that it did not take long for me to really start hating this book, despite all of my efforts not to and to take it as objective. It is in my opinion however not objective and feels very much like cherry picked information. There have been examples and quotes from the book that I have to bite on my fingers while doing homework not to point out glaring problems with, and I just pretend to take it as fact because I don't want a bad grade just because I disagree. And that right there is a good example of the problems with the book, yes minorities have been oppressed by white people and even men in many cases, that being said however the book makes it very clear that it is not possible for a minority to be racist or prejudice against a 'white' person (this is stated within the first 2 chapters), yet I fear to state my opinion in a college class because my grade as well as my integrity will suffer immensely. I would not consider myself racist, sexist, or prejudice but I am honest enough with myself to feel I could benefit by taking this class and reading this book. This book has made me loose respect for sociology. I will stick with my STEM major where facts are actually fact.
