Running the long race in gifted education

How do people identified as gifted respond to being labeled as such? And does it matter if the person is culturally diverse and underrepresented as a gifted individual? The editors answer those questions with personal narratives of fifteen adults who have navigated through life with this gifted identity. Representing a broad spectrum of racial, ethnic, and regional backgrounds, the adult contributors describe in detail what it is like owning the gifted identity throughout one's life.—Publisher.
