Rezensionen

Diversity in the Workforce: Current Issues and Emerging Trends (3rd Edition) edited by Dr. Marilyn Y. Byrd and Dr. Chaunda L. Scott is one the first and few existing resources exploring the topic of workforce diversity from the vantage point of individuals, organizations, communities, and society. The book is well-balanced in its presentation of theories and models for broad understandings of diversity in workplaces and organizations, while also tending to the social, cultural, and relational aspects of diversity that are related to individual and community identities and social injustices. While many other books focused on the issue of diversity in the workforce or workplace tend to focus on the business case for contemporary diversity efforts, this book is distinguished by its centering of relational and social justice-diversity should and must be advanced simply because it is the right thing to do.

"This gem of a book combines easy-to-read trustworthy information from deep experts with the opportunity to then think through how to turn that information into action. I recommend it to leaders, practitioners, students, and educators alike - to anyone who wants to understand where we are, how we got here, and how we move forward."

Darren C. Short

Arguably the most useful textbook on diversity in the American market. This book focuses on the theoretical and practical frameworks appropriate for organizations and individuals operating from a western perspective. It is also a global resource in the sense that it addresses universally common issues like ethnicity, social class, and "isms." For those seeking to understand the diversity issues and trends in the workplace and what to do about them, this book educates in a way that most books on the subject do not. It re-aligns readers with the goals of social justice and offers the tools necessary for making progress.
