Dynamics of Managing Diversity: A Critical Approach by Gill Kirton, Anne-Marie Greene   The Dynamics of Managing Diversity offers an integrative approach looking at all the issues surrounding managing equality and diversity in the workplace. Equality and diversity are treated as mutually reinforcing, rather than competitive concepts. Topics explored are firmly placed within the organizational and labour market framework and examined from a sociological perspective. The text draws on European examples and countries which have made a significant contribution to managing equality and diversity.   More information and prices from: Amazon.com - US dollars SeekBooks.com.au - Aus Dollars Amazon.ca - Canadian dollars Amazon.co.uk - UK pounds Amazon.de - Euros Amazon.fr - Euros Affirmative Action in Antidiscrimination Law and Policy: An Overview and Synthesis by Samuel Leiter, William M. Leiter   Affirmative action has been and continues to be the flashpoint of America's civil rights agenda. Yet while the affirmative action literature is voluminous, no comprehensive account of its major legal and public policy dimensions exists. Samuel and William M. Leiter examine the origin and growth of affirmative action, its impact on American society, its current state, and its future anti-discrimination role, if any.   More information and prices from: Amazon.com - US dollars SeekBooks.com.au - Aus Dollars Amazon.ca - Canadian dollars Amazon.co.uk - UK pounds Amazon.de - Euros Amazon.fr - Euros

Losing the Race: Self-Sabotage in Black America by John H. McWhorter   Berkeley linguistics professor John McWhorter, born at the dawn of the post-Civil Rights era, spent years trying to make sense of this question. Now he dares to say the unsayable: racism's ugliest legacy is the disease of defeatism that has infected black America. Losing the Race explores the three main components of this cultural virus: the cults of victimology, separatism, and antiintellectualism that are making blacks their own worst enemies in the struggle for success.   More information and prices from: Amazon.com - US dollars SeekBooks.com.au - Aus Dollars Amazon.ca - Canadian dollars Amazon.co.uk - UK pounds Amazon.de - Euros Amazon.fr - Euros Anti-oppressive Social Work Theory and Practice by Lena Dominelli   This work, by one of the leading theorists of social work, tackles a subject of crucial importance to students and practitioners alike: how social workers can enable their clients to challenge and transcend the manifold oppressions that disempower them (whether through poverty, disability, mental illness, etc.). It moves from a discussion of social work's purpose and ambitions to an exposition of theory and, from there, to the practice arenas of working with individuals, in groups, within organisations, and within a wider social and political context.   More information and prices from: Amazon.com - US dollars SeekBooks.com.au - Aus Dollars Amazon.ca - Canadian dollars Amazon.co.uk - UK pounds Amazon.de - Euros Amazon.fr - Euros
