Weed these books now!

Yasu and the Strangers by Louis Slobodkin

Slobodkin, Louis. Yasu and the Strangers / Louis Slobodkin. New York : Macmillan, 1965.

Us/them mentality is full of unflatering strereotypes. See complete review on Choosing Multicultural Books.

The Japanese

by Richard Tames

Tames, Richard. The Japanese / Richard Tames. London : Batsford, 1982.

Fuzzy, out of date photographs make the Japanese look strange or quaint. The content and photos make me think that they were out of date even when the book was first published.
