Overview

This book provides a comprehensive overview of human diversity by examining how issues of race, ethnicity, disability, religion, and sexual orientation affect daily interactions. With the increased awareness of cultural diversity, these essays focus the reader on the many factors to consider in America's ever-expanding society. Rather than adopting an elaborately theoretical style to explore these issues, the authors address the question of interaction in a clear and accessible style.
