Subject: new book--a diversity reader

Hello FEAST members,
Our book on Diversity, Social Justice, and Inclusive Excellence:
Transdisciplinary and Global Perspectives
has been published with SUNY Press.

http://www.sunypress.edu/p-5858-diversity-social-justice-and-in.aspx


An interdisciplinary  anthology exploring issues related to diversity,
multiculturalism, and social justice.
It includes several articles which address Iris M. Youngıs 5 faces of
oppression.

When students are introduced to the  study of diversity and social
justice, it is usually from sociological and psychological
perspectives. The scholars and activists featured in this anthology
reject this  approach as too limiting, insisting that we adopt a view
that is both  transdisciplinary and multiperspectival. Their essays
focus on the components  of diversity, social justice, and inclusive
excellence, not just within the  United States but in other parts of the
 world. They examine diversity in the  contexts of culture, race, class,
 gender, learned ability and dis/ability,  religion, sexual orientation,
 and citizenship, and explore how these concepts  and identities
interrelate. The result is a book that will provide readers with  a
better theoretical understanding of diversity studies and will enable
them to  see and think critically about oppression and how systems of
oppression may be  challenged.

At the State University of New York College at  Cortland,
Seth N. Asumah is SUNY  Distinguished Teaching Professor and Professor of
Political Science,
and Mechthild Nagel is Professor of  Philosophy.
Together they have coedited Prisons  and Punishment: Reconsidering Global
Penality.
