Jackson, S. E. & Ruderman, M. N. (Eds.). (1996). Diversity in work teams: Research paradigms for a changing workplace. Washington, D.C.: American Psychological Association.
Diversity in Work Teams: Research Paradigms for a Changing Workplace explores how diversity affects one of the most popular management strategies used in business today: the formation of employee work teams. Work teams ideally operate to maximize flexibility, creativity, and productivity in a business environment. Frustrating this effort, however, is the increasing level of diversity found in the American workplace, which often heightens the difficulty of getting people to work together effectively. The authors of this volume argue that organizations must learn to understand and adjust to workplace diversity, because many of the specific assets and liabilities of work teams arise directly out of the diverse talents and perspectives of teams' individual members. Diversity in Work Teams moves beyond the traditional concept of diversity, which typically focuses on ethnicity, gender, and age, to include psychological differences (values and beliefs) and organizational differences (hierarchical level and occupation.

Neugebauer-Visano, R. (1995). Aging and inequality: Cultural constructions of differences. Toronto: Canadian Scholars' Press, Inc.
This volume examines the intersections of race, ethnicity and aging, and in so doing unravels the complex relationship between the two. Both fields of race/ethnicity and aging have emerged as important areas of sociological, health, psychological and social policy investigation. Given the increasing importance of these fields of enquiry, the marriage of race/ethnicity and aging provide an accurate perspective on the reality of aging in Canadian society. The population of Canadian society is aging; and Canadian society is becoming increasingly diverse. As such it is fitting that such a book be written.

Peebles-Wilkins, W. (1996). Is it time to rethink affirmative action? Yes! Journal of Social Work Education, 32(1), 5-11.
This study examined affirmative action efforts aimed at ensuring equality of opportunity and a diverse working environment in higher education--specifically, as these efforts relate to social work students and faculty of color. The study suggests that practices designed to ensure broader labor force participation and equality of educational opportunity need to be revamped. The nature of the higher education enterprise demands that implementation strategies be both mended and monitored to ensure the necessary diversity. The study concludes that equal access to opportunities is still a tremendous problem in this society, however, there must be changes on how affirmative action strategies are applied, and make sure that these changes do not threaten the progress of women and people of color, especially African Americans.

Zweigenhaft, R.L. & Domhoff, G.W. (1998). Diversity in the power elite: Have women and minorities reached the top?. New Haven: Yale University Press.
With a deft combination of data and telling anecdotes, Richard Zweigenhaft and G. William Domhoff show that women and minorities have made inroads into the power elite, although the overwhelming majority at the top continues to be white, wealthy, Christian, and male. The authors find--and explain the reasons for--striking differences in the representation of these various minorities in the power elite. They also examine how the presence of women and minorities affects the elite group itself. They report that the newcomers tend to be similar in social class and educational background to the traditional members and that there are few liberals and even fewer crusaders among them. Thus diversification has in fact solidified and strengthened the power elite, for its members continue to share the same perspectives on business and government, and presence of women and minorities has made this select group more legitimate to many critics.
