Testimonials
"I found Dr. Parvis' book to be a complete and concise introduction to the myriad of issues encountered in the study of cultural diversity. The text is an interesting and straightforward presentation of the progression of diversity in both the U.S. and abroad. It contains many pertinent historical references to diversity and examines the effect of cultures on current events. It serves students well by presenting them with the pragmatic importance of valuing cultural diversity as well as the ethical and moral reasons for its' understanding. Cultural diversity is an issue that spans all disciplines from social/political sciences to philosophical doctrines and economic issues. Dr. Parvis' book does an excellent job of crossing these boundaries in a way that individuals can easily understand without using lofty inapplicable rhetoric. It serves as a useful text for both students and those already in the workforce. Overall I enjoyed the material and readers should have no trouble relating to and understanding this text."
