Accessible and practical, yet theoretically rich, Understanding Diversity has been carefully designed for classroom use. This new edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded. The emphasis of the text, however, continues to be on introducing and demystifying the concepts of class, race, gender, sexual orientation, and now, disability.

Accessible and thorough. Recommended as a textbook, or to anyone wanting a simple and clear introduction to the topic. --Patricia Markley, Multicultural Review
A much-needed volume.... This clear, concise book will provide students, scholars, and practitioners with a solid grounding in the complexity of diversity issues in our contemporary world. --Mark Christian, Miami University
A great teaching resource.... Understanding Diversity is clearly written with the expertise of someone who has experienced all of the common questions, misconceptions, and challenges that students typically bring to the classroom, and it tackles each one with conceptually rigorous and empirically grounded arguments. --Eileen O Brien, University of Richmond
