Kottak (recent inductee to The National Academ of Scineces) and Kozaitis clarify essential issues,themes, and topics in the study of diversity, including ethnicity, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. The book also presents an original theory of multiculturalism, showing how human agency and culture work to organize and change society.
