To help the reader understand some of these dilemmas, the contributors adopt a number of theoretical frameworks which are striking departures from traditional perspectives on diversity. These include: intergroup relations theory; critical theory; Jungian psychology; feminism; post- colonial theory; cultural history; postmodernism; realism; institutional theory; and class analysis. In addition, they examine different organizational situations in which complex predicaments of diversity surface - many of which cross race, gender, ethnic and other socially constructed boundaries.
On receipt of book, realised it was not suitable for the Masters programme. However, I have given it to a colleague, Senior Lecturer in Management and have asked for feedback. Will post.
