I liked this book. It was an easy read for an academic work. It analyzed different cultural concepts and how they work together to create cultures and perspectives for students on college campuses in the U.S.

Well edited. It offers a variety of perspectives of how culture influences various populations on college campuses and how these populations interact with one another.
