Reviews for Beyond Race and Gender

[alexthehunn · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is a practical primer on how businesses can address issues of diversity in the work place. Written in 1992, the book seems somewhat dated. Many issues it addresses have been resolve, some have expanded in intesity while others have cropped up that were not even mentioned in this book. Still, many of the basic principles are still worth noting.
