"The foremost researcher on cultural identity theory, Janet Helms' story begins with a childhood in Missouri and struggles with racism and oppression. The story is one of liberation and you'll learn about her scholarly roots, her more recent work on unfairness and discrimination in the testing industry, and about her as a person. Your students will return to her writings with even greater enthusiasm and respect."--Publisher's web site www.emicrotraining.com/lifespan.html#789 viewed 02/27/06
