Are American children being shortchanged by racial and class bias in psychological, personality, and intelligence tests? Can this still be happening as we move toward a new millennium?
This new edition of Even the Rat Was White maintains the balanced approach that earned the first edition a wide audience, while presenting new information and additional insights from a minority perspective. Through examples, quotes, illustrations, and historical vignettes, it documents the role of racial considerations and Euro-American attitudes in the development of the social sciences since the 1870s.
It shows how these attitudes led to a self-fulfilling prophecy, as studies which supported Black inferiority were immediately accepted while studies which questioned white superiority and demonstrated cultural bias in methodologies were pushed aside.
