findthatbookI am looking for a soft-cover social studies book that my school purchased for everyone in the class sometime around 1987. The book was aimed for 6th or 7th graders.
It was a short book that we were instructed to put in our cubby and not take out again until we were instructed. The 7th grade teacher was very emphatic about this. So emphatic was the teacher that we should not read the book that I took my copy out and read it cover to cover at my first opportunity.
It covered a bunch of political and social justice concepts that I had not encountered in school before.
The book had a chapter that defined political points of view along a spectrum from "reactionary" to "radical". It also had a section in which a fictionalized ethnic group called the Duda were lobbying for women's rights.
EDIT: This was in the United States, at a private school in Honolulu, Hawai'i.
Any suggestion on what the title of the book might be are appreciated.
