Reviews

"Given the richness of the topic, it becomes impossible to include every issue or group in one succinct book. Rather, each chapeter should be thought of as a 'snapshot' of a particular group. Still this insightful group book manages to include much highly useful information, and serves as a valuable aid in better understanding issues of difference. While this book accomplishes its scholarly purpose in describing the many colors of diverse tapestry of America,
it was refreshing to find this work accomplished in a colorful manner as well."--APA Division 44 Newsletter, Lisa Orban
"A starting point is needed for someone who is unfamiliar with diversity issues and wants to begin to learn. Diversity in Human Interactions is an excellent starting point...Diversity in Human Interactions was written as an introductory textbook for the study of individual differences, and its purpose is to foster open and frank discussion of the issues surrounding diversity. This book accomplishes this purpose well."-- Gordon C. Nagayama
