Spectacular DIverse Perspectives Presented

As a professor who engages the multiethnic and multicultural cannon for my courses, I was extremely pleased to find such a volume with a cadre of diverse perspectives presented so cogently. Gender as a focus is given its due, and its influence on other issues of diversity is well stated and reviewed. Other tough issues, such as white male supremacy are written about and discussed without rancor, just with evidence for that perspective and with strategies for de-emphasizing it within the academy and within American society in general. I have recommended this volume to my masters and doctoral students.
