The activities are referenced in Cushner/McClelland/Safford, Human Diversity in Education, 4/e (2003), for which this workbook is an ideal companion.

The book is aimed at courses dealing with human diversity in education and "broadened" multicultural language, and social class differences. It may also appeal to many foundations instructors with an interest in diversity and inequality.
