What is diversity? How does prejudice show itself? What are the societal consequences of discrimination? Has anything changed over the past 50 years? These are just some of the questions addressed in Understanding Diversity, an introduction to the issues and controversies surrounding concepts of class, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and disability.

This new edition has been thoroughly updated, as well as expanded to include a chapter on immigration, discussion of the varied impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, and a section on gender diversity. The student-friendly structure of the book, however, remains unchanged. Accessible and practical, yet theoretically rich, Understanding Diversity is the perfect companion to the diversity anthology of your choice.

This clear, concise book will provide students, scholars, and practitioners with a solid grounding in the complexity of diversity issues in our contemporary world.

A great teaching resource.... Tackles with conceptually rigorous and empirically grounded arguments all of the common questions, misconceptions, and challenges that students typically bring to the classroom.

Accessible and thorough. Recommended as a textbook, or to anyone wanting a simple and clear introduction to the topic.
