Praise for this book

"Descriptions of tactics used to educate both the teachers and students are given ... . the book is interesting in the discussions of how aborigine people are being marginalized and the RoleM solution has some merit and can be transferred to other contexts ... . if you teach marginalized students anywhere, there will be some points of valid instruction that you can extract and use."
