<p style="margin: 0pt;">Stephanie McClure and Cherise A. Harris’s<b> Second Thoughts on Race in the United States: Hoodies, Model Minorities, and Real Americans</b><b> </b>is an edited collection of short essays that address the most common misconceptions about race held by students (and by many in the United States, in general)―it is a "one-stop shopping" reader on the racial topics most often pondered by students and derived from their interests and concerns.
