Summary:

Rothenberg, an educator and activist who is probably best known for her textbook Race, Class and Gender in the United States, explores her perceptions and the realities of social and academic privilege over the course of her life. She begins with memories of her Jewish upper-middleclass childhood, then discusses her college years in the 60s, the social upheaval of the seventies, personal events surrounding the publication of her book, and the current controversies over hate speech and political correctness.
