The Encyclopedia of Diversity and Social Justice--Review
An excellent and timely title that has been recently added
to the print reference collection at the Martinsburg Public Library is The Encyclopedia of Diversity and Social
Justice (call number R 305.8003 Encycl).
The Encyclopedia of
Diversity and Social Justice contains over 300 entries alphabetically
arranged for straightforward and convenient use by scholars and general readers
alike. This reference is a comprehensive collection of designated entries that
describe, in detail, important diversity and social justice themes. The
compiler, assisted by a network of contributors and consultants, has provided a
centralized source and convenient way to discover the modern meaning, richness,
and significance of diversity and social justice language, while offering a
balanced viewpoint.
Examples of entries in this two-volume set include: Accessibility, African American, Antiracism,
Biculturalism, Chicano, Colorism, Desegregation, Diversity Management,
Ethnocentrism, Glass Ceiling, Hispanic American Cultures, Intolerance,
Juneteenth, LGBT Rights, Melungeons, Nonviolent Civil Disobedience, Protestant
Ethic, Racial Identity, Social Justice, Terrorism, Urban Culture, and
Worldview. The terms in this set have been carefully chosen to present the
common usage of words and themes that dominate our daily lives.
The essays in each entry provide alternative views to
popular doctrines and philosophical truths, and include many of the most
popular terms used in current conversations on the topic, from ageism to
xenophobia. With contributions from experts in various fields, the entries
consist of topics that represent a wider context among a diverse community of
people from every walk of life.
