Negative Positive
Title: Completely Pass'e
Review: This looks at men in the military who eventually get training as nurses. It was written long before the rise of Black Studies or Men's Studies. Thus, the insights from these fields are not present here. The work is dated and the writing is dull. This really just compiled information with no finesse. I'm a Black male and numerous articles say Black males suffer disproportionately in bad labor markets or when old skills become obsolete. That is the one way in which this book could have use four decades after its publication: speaking of finding jobs or skills for disempowered bruthas. Perhaps a student could compare the info here with current research or writing on Black male nurses and produce a comparative paper on the topic. There is a small chance that male who receive nursing training in the military might find this book useful.
