Paperback. Condición: New. In this enlightening book, a campus "diversity doctor" relates stories that individuals have shared with him about their anxieties in situations involving people who are in some way different than themselves. Dr. Rupert W. Nacoste regularly counsels students at North Carolina State University about their problems dealing with diversity of all kinds, including of gender, race, ethnicity, and sexual-orientation. Here, he shares his most effective techniques for handling the unavoidable realities of being in a neo-diverse community, whether that means in college or America as a nation. The author's proven "safe space" strategy can be applied to the campus, community groups, churches, and workplaces as a means to facilitate positive dialogue about diversity.In this time of current tensions, students, or "young travelers" as Nacoste fondly refers to them, still have much work ahead of them to achieve mutual respect and understanding. From everyday encounters, parties, and email and social media exchanges, they provide examples of ongoing bigotry: racial slurs and stereotypes are still used; young men continue to project demeaning attitudes toward women; and the heterosexual majority sometimes shows little understanding of the LBGT minority.Dr. Nacoste considers it his role to usher students off the "Wrong-Line train," and he has noticed that as they "leave the station," adults begin to follow their lead. The author demonstrates how we can maintain fairness and respect while still acknowledging our differences. By doing so, we can all learn to meet these challenges using sensitivity to different perspectives, open-minded attitudes, and the recognition that diversity in America is here to stay.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Since the election of Barack Obama to the US presidency in 2008, some people are under the illusion that we in America now live in a opost-racial society.o Author Rupert W. Nacoste knows all too well how far we are from that imagined utopia. As a professor of psychology and the campus oDiversity Doctor,o Dr. Nacoste counsels students on a regular basis about their problems dealing with diversity-not just racial and ethnic, but gender and sexual-orientation diversity as well. In this thoughtful, enlightening book, Dr. Nacoste reports, in their own words, students'astories of their anxieties in situations involving people who are in some way different. And he describes how he shows his students effective techniques for accepting the unavoidable realities of our neo-diverse nation. aUnfortunately, as the accounts in this book make clear, there is still much work to be done. aAt campus parties, in routine social encounters, and in email and Twitter exchanges, examples of bigotry abound- the an-word is still used; some white students don't like the idea of Marc Anthony singing oGod Bless Americao because he is Puerto Rican; young men continue to project demeaning attitudes toward women; and the heterosexual majority sometimes shows little understanding of the LBGT minority.Based on his many years of experience dealing with diversity issues, Nacoste shows how we can all learn to meet these challenges. This entails sensitivity to different perspectives, open-minded attitudes, and the recognition of two facts- that diversity in America is here to stay and that, in the end, respect for diversity is the essence of the American dream.
