Editorial Reviews
Review
"Provides the blueprint for a new direction in the social sciences--from ethnocentrism to understanding people and groups in historical, political, and sociocultural contexts." (Manuel Ramirez, professor of psychology, University of Texas)
"This edited volume on human diversity is a valuable resource. . . . The book offers concise and relevant conceptual information on race, ethnicity, culture, acculturation, intergroup relations, ageism, ableism, and identity formation in oppressive contexts. . . . Helpful concepts, examples and explanations are presented that should go a long way in advancing an appreciation and affirmation of diversity."
"This book attempts to bring issues of diversity to the forefront of psychological theory and research. The time is ripe for mental health practitioners and researchers to treat diversity with the rigor it deserves. This book provides some tools to do so." (Dharma E. Cortes, Ph.D., Research Associate, Hispanic Research Center, Fordham University, The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease)

From the Inside Flap
Human Diversity provides the kind of dialogue that allows both an appreciation of difference and an understanding of common cause among those seeking to develop and strengthen a psychology of diversity. In twenty original chapters, leading scholars in the field draw on the most current research and thinking to reflect on how different groups of people in our society must confront and deal with the different social realities reflected in long-standing social attitudes, social policies and laws, and our social institutions. The book examines similarities as well as differences in the experiences of diverse groupsincluding African-Americans, gays and lesbians, the elderly, and others—highlighting cross-cutting themes such as oppression, intergroup dynamics, culture, and identity. The authors also explore the applications of varied approaches to diversity to the research process and offer practical guidelines on how to conduct diversity-conscious and diversity-sensitive projects and research.

The book came exactly when they seller said it would come. Excellent service. The book actually came in better shape than I thought. The seller was detailed in what was "wrong" with the book.
