(note: you can get this from Amazon for a few dollars and it will ship in

The book raises many themes from class, including race, class, poverty,
gender, stratification, and economics. The goal is to draw from what you
have learned in lecture and readings.

Summarize the argument, and then write a strong book critique (not a
