About The Book

Diversity, Social Justice, and the Dynamics of Difference (2nd Edition) by Marilyn Y. Byrd offers a comprehensive and integrated approach to understanding and addressing issues of diversity, marginalization, and social injustice. This textbook provides students with essential tools to navigate the complexities that emerge from difference, equipping them with the skills to effectively respond to societal challenges related to race, gender, ethnicity, and social class.

The second edition features two new chapters that explore crucial contemporary topics: social identity diversity and leadership in the workforce, as well as the under-representation of diverse groups in science, technology, and the film industry. Additionally, an updated chapter on social justice introduces a new conceptual framework designed to advance the ideology of organizational social justice.

End-of-chapter questions promote critical discussions, encouraging students to engage in conversations on complex topics, while case studies highlight real-world issues tied to diversity. This resource is a valuable tool for students aiming to develop their ability to mediate or resolve diversity-related challenges in professional environments.

Incorporating emerging trends and a practical approach, this book is an indispensable resource for students in human relations, organizational behavior, and human resources management.
