Book Respecting Our Differences: A Guide to Getting Along in a Changing World
Publisher: Free Spirit Publications
Author: Duvall, Lynn
Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Year: 1994

Description: More than simply a consciousness-raising exploration of prejudice today, this is an activist's approach to promoting cultural diversity. Duvall is neither preachy nor strident, touching briefly on everything from theories about race and "speaking in stereotypes" to the current controversy over U.S. immigration.  It's loaded with resources for young people to pursue. The thought-provoking questions found in the book's "Time Out" sections can be used by independent readers or as classroom discussion starters, and the anecdotal material, featuring young people who have experienced prejudice and are working singly or in groups to overcome it, will encourage YAs to act.
