Matthews Index About the Editors and Contributors

Reviews

Ender, Kelty, Rohall, and Matthews have done a great service to students, faculty, scholars, and leaders by producing this fine volume. The editors assembled an accomplished group of contributors and revised, updated, and expanded their highly successful first edition (CH, Mar'18, 55-2692). The new work covers 11 social groups presented in three parts. Part 1 covers race, ethnicity, and immigrants, including Native Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, African Americans, immigrants, and noncitizens. Part 2 details sex, sexuality, and gender, including women, lesbian and gay service members, and trans people. Part 3 explores religion, disability, and civilians. As a bonus, each chapter shares a lived experience, highlighting a specific individual who captures the humanity of the particular subject matter in a personal and poignant way. This book combines rigorous research, cogent analysis, and clear writing. The result is a highly engaging book that will prove useful in a variety of courses on the American military. Multidisciplinary, comprehensive, and accessible, this valuable resource is essential reading for anyone interested in how and why both diversity and inclusion matter in the US armed forces. Essential. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; general readers; professionals. * Choice Reviews * This comprehensive book is an excellent primer on diversity in the military. -- Amy Lutz, Syracuse University Managing diversity in the military, and indeed in the civilian world, is an increasingly critical and complex issue. Inclusion in the American Military: A Force for Diversity provides an astute and comprehensive analysis of the US military’s challenges, opportunities, and approaches for fostering an organization that maximizes the potential of all service members regardless of their background and identity while maintaining the military’s high standards for protecting and defending the nation. -- Irina Goldenberg, director at Department of National Defence, Canada This expanded edition of Inclusion in the American Military provides a necessary and nuanced portrait of diversity in the U.S. military in all its complexity. A bookshelf essential, its scholars expertly present histories and ongoing challenges of inclusion, and offer pathways toward achieving a better military in service to the nation. -- Charles D. Allen, US Army War College This volume is the quintessential intersectional survey of our nation’s military. It shows how the most pragmatic institution in our society has consistently identified diversity, equity and inclusion as a critical foundation for achieving military effectiveness and protecting the nation's interests, regardless of the politics of the given moment. The new 'Lived Experience' contributions to the volume vividly bear out the academic findings in each chapter and will resonate with academic, undergraduate and lay audiences alike. -- Jennifer Lundquist, University of Massachusetts-Amherst

This comprehensive book is an excellent primer on diversity in the military. -- Amy Lutz, Syracuse University
