In the UK, post-Stephen Lawrence and the revised Race Relations Act (2000) all organizations have had to become much more aware of diversity issues and the need to understand and, if necessary, change underlying attitudes. This timely new book from one of the authors of the highly successful Equal Opportunities Handbook provides a practical and sensible approach to dealing with this highly sensitive issue. Providing clear guidelines the book provides advice for dealing with issues including stereotyping, prejudice, racism, sexism, homophobia, disability etc. With information on designing diversity training and advice on appropriate techniques to help bring about attitudinal change the book offers proven practical advice.
I recently came across this book when it was suggested as additional reading for a Diversity Awareness class I attended this year. I'm eager to dive into it soon. The recommendation from my class indicates it will offer valuable perspectives and deepen my understanding of diversity issues. I'm looking forward to gaining new insights and expanding my knowledge through this recommended read.
