The world is continually changing. As organizations become more diverse, the need to recognize and develop talent within others becomes more critical and more complex. Herein lies the fundamental dilemma that parties to these important relationships face. Based on a recent gathering in Amherst, the contributors of this volume attempted to help each other better understand the issues that they were facing in their own diversified mentoring relationships as mentors, protégés, or both. This volume is the result of their efforts. Organized into three sections, the book focuses on the different types of mentoring perspectives--theoretical, empirical, and experiential. It addresses the following issues: *Developmental relationships--the emerging themes and theoretical models that discuss the experiences of various ethnic populations, *Empirical evidence--qualitative and quantitative research that examines the impact of diverse mentoring relationships, *First-hand accounts--experiences that recount key lessons learned in various situations, including breaking the glass ceiling, among others.

Having agreed that gender constitutes a fundamental category of analysis, feminists are now paying attention to variations among women. This book is part of that effort. In this volume, seventeen women psychologists address issues of diversity while exploring the effects of essentialism—the presumed sameness of all women. By exposing the ways in which their own work incorporates their gender and ethnicities, the contributors invite us on a journey of awareness, a journey built on communication and collaboration.This accessible, lively book explores dilemmas of gender and ethnicity facing psychologists. It looks at various ethnic communities, including African Americans, Japanese Americans, and Mexican Americans, within settings involving issues of parenting, education, and personal and professional achievement. It should appeal to those exploring the role of women, especially ethnic minority women, from feminist as well as cultural perspectives.
