Rezensionen
"Readers will enjoy its clarity, succinctness, and current examples. A timely contribution, the book can enrich training for research or practice and should prove valuable for anyone interested in culture and diversity."
"For instructors and researchers looking for new and better ways to define and describe the difficult constructs of culture, diversity, and multiculturalism, Multiculturalism and Diversity lives up to the task....... Furthermore, its individual chapters may serve as helpful stand-alone treatises on the four major cultural groups."
"A very good introduction for academics and (separately) the truly provincial for whom college is the first step out of their cultural womb." (Prometheus 6, January 2010)"Incisive, wise, and extremely thought-provoking is the new book byBernice Lott. From her brilliant observation that all of us aremulticultural flows a narrative that invites us to re-think issuesof self and society. The implications of Lott's analyses are bothexciting and profound. A great book!"
