Excellent book to learn about diversity
7/12/2006
This is an excellent book for someone who is learning about diversity. This book isn't 100% perfect but it's a start for someone to learn about diversity in society. The author tried to address each group without bias (as much as possible).
Great book

Thankfully my college has a textbook rental system, but I think that if I were required to purchase this book, it is one that I would actually end up keeping. I have never really been able to sit down and read a textbook, but this one is different.
It may just be personal opinion, but I think that learning about the origins and evolution of various racial/ethnic/religious groups is incredibly interesting. I feel that Schaefer's presentation of the mateiral is very comprehensive (but not overly detailed) and, as far as I can tell, free of bias. A wide spectrum of groups are covered, the material is easy to read, and the graphics in the text--especially the charts and maps--help visually represent the text.
Overall, I think that this is one of the best textbooks that I have come into contact with, and I would highly recommend it.

Cultural diversity Study Guide

As a new instructor for an online class, I found this study guide to be concise and logical in it's layout. It is not meant to replace the in-depth analysis of the text and should not be used as such. That said, it is a helpful tool to reinforce the main concepts.
