Pushkala Prasad, Albert J. Mills, Michael Elmes and Anshuman Prasad : Managing the Organizational Melting Pot. Dilemmas of Workplace Diversity

1997, Thousand Oaks: Sage. 395 pages.

This book addresses the more troublesome and disturbing aspects of workplace diversity. It discusses issues such as: individual and institutional resistance, the effectiveness of diversity change efforts, and the less visible ways in which exclusion and discrimination continue to be practiced in the workplace. To illuminate these issues, the contributors in this volume adopt an array of theoretical frameworks which all depart from traditional and more functional perspectives on diversity, including intergroup relations theory, critical theory, Jungian psychology, feminism, post-colonial theory, cultural history, postmodernism, realism, institutional theory and class analysis. Furthermore, authors examine a multitude of organizational situations in which the complications of diversity surface.
