This books looks at how Persona Dolls are being used with children to combat prejudice. It provides an excellent rationale for them, giving plenty of interesting examples of ways in which they might be used and case studies as to how practitioners have successfully employed them. The examples and case studies will be helpful for anyone who is considering introducing Persona Dolls into their settings, as well as providing inspiration for those settings who have purchased them but are still not implementing them to their full potential. (It is worth noting that it is not the book's intention to provide a step-by-step guide to how to use them.)
