En savoir plus
Cultural diversity has characterized the American culture since its inception, but it has become a buzzword in the 1990s, along with multiculturalism. Proposed solutions to many of the problems of cultural diversity, while popular with the general public searching for easy solutions, are all too often simplistic and naive, reflecting the rather skewed perceptions of cultural diversity shared by most Americans. This volume is intended for those already familiar with the cultural diversity of America and is designed to generate discussion of the issues and problems.
Contributing authors take their discussions to new and in some cases unchartered directions in their efforts to stimulate discussion that could lead to the resolution of some of the most perplexing and complex issues and problems of diversity.
