Review by Joel Frank for Diversity Consciousness: Opening our Minds to People, Cultures and Opportunities (3rd Edition)
Rating:
For several years I have been looking for a simple text to use with students to examine issues of diversity. This is it! Bucher presents in 7 short chapters an overview that includes a broad range of issues, balanced theory with practical application, useful and challenging activities. I plan to use this not only with my sociology students but also with human resource personnel who are trying to be more effective managers of diversity. Good work!

This book was mandatory reading for a diversity class that I just finished and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! Especially helpful were the opportunities to personally reflect on the sidebar questions, which the reader can use to journal and explore their journey as they become more aware and accepting of diversity. Dr. Bucher (and his wife Pat) have written an thoughful book that provides readers with the tools they need to become more open-minded of differences, whether it be race, gender, religion, sexuality–the book touches a variety of aspects. I would recomment this book to anyone!
Review by M. L. WILLIAMS for Diversity Consciousness: Opening our Minds to People, Cultures and Opportunities (3rd Edition)
Rating:
Richard Bucher has hit the proverbial nail on the head with this insightful, down-to-earth text. I am a humanities professor in a small junior college, where students have little chance to experience more than minimal diversity. This somewhat cloistered environment is a perfect spot for the wisdom and practicality of “Diversity Consciousness.” The contents introduce, through case studies, team activities, and individual exercises, concepts of racism, discrimination, ethnocentrism, and other population characteristics capable of damaging personal as well as international relationships. Bucher’s careful and logical exploration of the opportunities presented by a diverse culture are more than welcome in my classroom, any time!

The book is very easy to read. It is short and to the point. It was also cheap.
Review by B. Campbell for WHITE FACE
Rating:
This short film powerfully portays both the brazen and subtle prejudices that we accept as part of daily life. People are so easily categorized and stereyped by careless langauge and learned attitudes! Through the images and scenarios presented using Clowns, we are cautioned about the insidiousnous of prejudice and the danger of complacency. “White Face” is straightforward enough to share with elementary school children, yet sophisticated enough to provoke discussion at the university level. Congratulations to Brian McDonald for creating a great film which teaches, inspires and perhaps, helps to make the world a better place.

We purchased this video for my company’s diversity training. It was a good choice.
Review by Linda Derooy for WHITE FACE
Rating:
I worked for a large company that would hold meetings to improve office relationships. I was thinking, as I watched the movie, how perfect this would be to show at one of those meetings. The movie is not very long and shows how people discriminate without thinking. A GOOD MOVIE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE!!!!
