Synopsis:

For over ten years, Readings for Diversity and Social Justice has been the go-to anthology for the broadest possible coverage of issues related to identity and oppression from a social justice perspective. This highly-anticipated second edition breaks even further ground, boasting over 40 more readings than previously available, updated and original section introductions, and three entirely new chapter sections on Religious Oppression, Transgender Oppression, and Ageism/Adultism. As with the first edition, each chapter section is divided into Contexts, Personal Voices, and Next Steps.  The first two parts provide vivid portraits of the meaning of diversity and the realities of oppression.  The third part challenges the reader to take action to end oppressive behavior and affirm diversity and social justice.

Added new features to this edition include:

• Over 130 readings, many new and updated, including three entirely new sections.
• A Table of Intersections that enables readers to identify all selections that treat issues of race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, class, and age, beyond those in designated topical chapters.
• An all new companion website with additional resources, further suggested readings, and teaching materials is also available.

Offering over one-hundred and thirty selections from some of the foremost scholars in a wide range of fields, Readings for Diversity and Social Justice, Second Edition is the indispensible volume for every student, teacher, and social justice advocate.
