Rezensionen

"Diversity is a fact of life as well as a necessity for evolution.Is diversity a precursor to hostility, a recipe for conflict, andanathema to productivity? Or, is diversity an opportunity forcreativity, evolution, and greater human possibilities? How do weharness this critical juncture? Readers will find themselvesstruggling with these momentous questions together with the mostqualified researchers on the topics. A must read for socialpsychologists who acknowledge their responsibilities for theemerging global human society."
