No one in this country is untouched by the impact of diversity. Yet, as diverse
as diversity is, are too the many different emotions and attitudes evoked by
diversity. As a nation, we are not well equipped to deal with the swirling
transitions that are converging on us on a daily basis because of the nature of
being the most diverse country in the world.
This text (in its 5th edition & updated July 2021) will well serve the purpose
for many who decide to learn and teach the fundamentals of cultural diversity
and racism. It will be beneficial for college students, high school juniors and
seniors, and organizations whose ever-changing workforce leads to the necessity
of educating employees on how to deal with the diversity of employees and
customers in a positive manner. Although the original intent for the book was to
serve as a text for students and employees, this book has also been purchased by
individuals who just want to learn more about diversity for themselves.
