Dear Mr.Aronson For the past few weeks we have been working on your book race in class. First of all I would like to tell you that I really enjoyed your book. I found very engaging and interesting. For example I liked how you used stories in your book like the tale of the king and the beast. I also liked how your book talks about things around the world for example the mundruku tribe of people all the way to India and Britain. It was very educational and I learned a lot from the civil rights movement and its beginning to how race was growing as a larger influence in Europe. However I noticed that you seemed to be more biased to the Germans and even though I understand that race is a very difficult subject to talk about I think it affected your ideas and kind of threw me away a little. In one of the sections (part 3) I was a little overwhelmed by all the things and ideas flying at me and it really made it hard to understand it clearly. Because you ran around from talking about whites and who was white to slavery and racism in America to Darwin and the enlightenment after reading that part my head was swimming. The only other problem I had was at the end you sort of summed it up abruptly I was expecting you to elaborate more on racism in our day. But you just ended it rather suddenly however I did enjoy your closing words. I really liked your book and I hope you enjoy your visit to university laboratory high school.
