Klappentext "Issues of identity, diversity, and multiculturalism sit at the center of our public debates, but discussions of these related terms are too often partisan, over-heated, and without nuance. Not so Sanford Levinson's" Wrestling with Diversity." At once thoughtful and passionate, it is evenhanded without being in any way equivocal. It provides readers with examples to think on and with analyses that deepen the questions they raise. A wonderful book."--Stanley Fish, Dean, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago Zusammenfassung Diversity has become a mantra within discussions of university admissions policies and many other arenas of American society.
