differences and injustices covered is comprehensive and the diverse
contributions are held together by strong and accessible
introductions to each section."

"A highly readable and thought-provoking collection of theoretical
and personal essays....[A] welcome supplement in courses which seek
to actively engage students in learning about the barriers to and
promises of social justice education."
-Lee Ann Bell, co-editor of "Teaching for Diversity and Social
Justice
"Given that there has been an upsurge of narratives and statistical
research on the 'other, ' this book successfully combines multiple
voices into one comprehensive piece. It is a wonder that so much
depth can be covered given its breadth of diversity issues.
Moreover, "Readings for Diversity and Social Justice provides a
very readable introduction to the key terms and conceptual
frameworks underlying diversity and social justice. In addition,
the book consists of essays that seek not only to inform, but also
to empower readers.."
