'Intended to be used as an integrated, comprehensive teaching resource, this book explores a wide range of diversity issues and emerging trends written from a multidisciplinary, US perspective. Editors Byrd (Univ. of Mary
Hardin-Baylor) and Scott (Oakland Univ.) divide the book into three parts and 16 chapters. Itfeatures a set of
end-of-chapter questions and case studies designed to help students better understand the complex nature of diversity issues and to develop the analytical, problem-solving skills required to resolve workplace diversity issues as future professionals. The three chapters in part 1 encompass historical perspectives of workforce diversity, offer theories, models, and frameworks to address issues of workforce diversity, and explore the relationship between organizational culture and workforce diversity. Part 2 addresses race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation/transgender, and social class aspects of diversity. Part 3 encompasses spirituality, intergenerational tensions, linguistic profiling, physical appearance stigmatizing, visible/invisible disabilities and discrimination, racial harassment and hate symbols,
cross-cultural opportunities and challenges, and revisioning of social justice in today's workforce. All in all, this volume is a comprehensive resource for a college course on diversity, but it can also serve as a practical, understandable update for organizations and their employees on today's diversity challenges in the workplace.
Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through practitioners.' -- T. Gutteridge, Interim Dean, College of Social Justice and Human Service, University of Toledo, USA
One of the most significant places where identify is forged, and where we create meaning in our lives, is the workplace. It is also a microcosm of all the oppression and inequities that exist in any society. In this cutting-edge volume, Drs Scott and Byrd radicalize our understanding of the much-quoted notion of diversity, and provide numerous helpful case studies to help students think through the real-life dilemmas and problems posed by creating a truly diverse workplace.-- Stephen Brookfield, Distinguished University Professor, University of St. Thomas
As the pace of change has accelerated with new information and communication technologies in a globalized world, the issue of diversity in the workplace and in our institutions of learning is more relevant than ever before. We must have managerial leaders who truly embrace, respect, value and support all forms of diversity. This book is an invaluable toolkit for anyone who seeks to understand the challenges, benefits and opportunities created by diversity in the workplace.
