Review :
"A warm, inviting book by a diversity consultant that doesn't toe the political party lines." --Orange County Register "Welcomed in the corporate arena as well as in personal life." --Booklist "In its chatty, no-nonsense way, puts all the taboos on the table. . . . It's tricky territory, but in Lester's hands, the paths are clear and easily followed." --San Francisco Chronicle "Whether you are an African Caribbean lesbian living in Kansas City, or a white, heterosexual man living on Long Island, you can learn from this book." --Ms. Magazine "Lester's generous voice sheds keen insight, humor and practical advice on the polarizing dilemmas of living with diversity." --Urvashi Vaid, author, former Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force "This refreshing book captures what most miss--insightful lessons from personal encounters with diversity. Ester is a talented storyteller who shares her learning in an unpretentious way." --Ann M. Morrison, author of The New Leaders "An excellent guide through the maze of modern relationships to a richer understanding of ourselves and our fellow human beings." --James C. Hormel, Chairman, Equidex, Inc. and Board of Managers, Swarthmore College "Inspiring, witty, a fresh and essential perspective on the most complex issues in today's world." --Nancy K. D. Lemon, Faculty, UC Berkeley, Boalt School of Law "The brave and delightful Joan Lester has walked these [diversity] woods, has tamed these monsters for years. Hallelujah, she knows the way! Thank you, Dr. Lester, for this wise, compassionate and witty book. I have been waiting for it a long time." --Ronnie Gilbert, singer, actor, author "Joan Lester takes us on a very personal journey that provides sound benchmarks on how to engage in the venture and deal with inclusion, rather than exclusion." --Santiago Rodriguez, Director of Multicultural and Affirmative Action Programs, Apple Computers
