The Fall of Rome

The Fall of Rome: RC 57790

How diverse should any institution be in order to achieve equity? In The Fall of Rome, author Martha Southgate presents a look at this question. Her main characters speak to us and struggle with issues that relate to bumping up against privilege, breaking out of comfort zones and challenging preconceived notions. This book slightly reminded me of a nonfiction book, Black Ice, I once read about what it meant to be African-American and female at St. Paul's School, a traditional bastion of white masculinity.

Now, for the book about the blind prep student. But would I enjoy it?

Highly recommended to senior high readers.
