1 Name Due Date Possible Cultural Diversity Course Books Cultural diversity: its social psychology New Edition ISBN 978-0-631-231-226 Xenia Chryssochoou The book demonstrates how the field of social psychology may shed light on pressing discussions concerning immigration and diversity in the present day. It examines the literature on the social and psychological underpinnings of the formation of multiple societies. Examine the dynamics between different social groups, including the effects of migration, the ways locals adjust, and the new ways of life that emerge as a result. In her new book, Xenia Chryssochoou investigates how different social and psychological groups within a nation-state come to terms with the challenges of coexisting. This book is written in a way that even advanced students who are new to the subject may understand and benefit from. Cultural Diversity: A Primer for the Human Services 6th Edition ISBN 978-1305-177-536 Jerry V Diller This book by Jerry Diller provides a nice mix of practical advice and theoretical frameworks for delivering services to people from different cultural backgrounds. Multicultural and diversity theory, the service delivery method, and the cultural background of target audiences
2 are all discussed. So that they may be better counselors, the author helps students examine their own biases. An exciting interview with four working people, all of different races. The interviews are given verbatim to preserve the interviewees' individuality and cultural context while presenting a wealth of information about the interviewees' cultures and practical professional advice and warnings. This is an area that is seldom discussed in multicultural literature, and it is given extensive treatment here. Culture and Diversity in the United States New Edition ISBN 978-1317-575-771 Jack David Eller The author of this book not only talk about the expected themes of race, ethnicity, class, and gender but also go deeply into discussions of language, religion, age, health, handicap, and geographical location. An understanding of and respect for other cultures and perspectives is a vital talent in today's America and the rest of the globe. It also considers the overlaps and variations within these broad groups. Eller provides students with a unique blend of background information, conceptual analysis, discussion of relevant literature, and current data. Cultural diversity in our schools New Edition ISBN 978-0534-512-477 Patricia L Marshall
3 From this book, readers are made aware of how their own cultural orientations impact their approaches to teaching positions and then exposed to themes associated with diversity (culture, worldview, race/ethnicity). Many ethnic groups are misrepresented when individuals create assumptions and then promote them as facts. In this situation, I believe that Marshall attempted to present the facts as they are rather than as they are often believed to be. With this foundation, students will be better prepared to study the in-depth chapters on the five most prevalent racial and ethnic groups in American schools: African Americans, Asian Pacific Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, and White Americans. The chapters detail methods and ideas that educators may use to better engage and educate pupils from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. Finally, students are guided toward a critical analysis of the bureaucratic dynamics of today's schools and how educators might seek to remove the barriers to successful multicultural education.
