In depth and interesting - I read this book as a part of a diversity course in graduate school. The book is unique in that it includes individual articles from various authors on a great deal of subjects related to diversity. I enjoyed the deeper and more 'readable' accounts of the articles in the book.
The only negative of the book is that it is more of a survey piece than a practical guide. It would have to be supplimented by a real text with practical tips to be used effectively for training practitioners.

Good information ~very readable! - This book was very comprehensive and also very readable. This was not a boring textbook at all. Many of the reading helped me to see things in a different light.

Thoroughly explained - Excellent book - I read this book cover to cover.
There is so much history in the book, well explained, it made me see how far back we have have been dealing with injustice across the world.
Prejudice, discrimination, oppression in all it's forms throughout the ages, including issues related to race, religion, gender and more. Every chapter is bringing historical facts making us realize how we are the way we are, and how we can learn to change this behavior.
Learning the roots of the problems is key, and this book does an excellent job at describing every aspect of our social backgrounds.
Definitely an important book to take into the classroom and a definite read for those of you who want to be part of the change.
