From the Paper:

"Rothenberg's approach in her book entitled Race, class, and gender in the United States, focuses on power in relation to gender, race and class. The style of the book, which consists of short essays provides an epiphany formulation of where you are in your thoughts regarding the subject matter of gender, race and class. Rothenberg takes a difficult classroom subject and eases the challenge for teachers by supplying teaching material that discusses white privilege, the social construction of gender, poverty statistics, homophobia and racial profiling. Not only does she supply material for teachers she provides extra reading sources for students. Her book is classified by systems of oppression. The common thread that runs through each system of oppression is a generic list of common traits identifying immigrants in America today."
