Customer Reviews

A sound guide for people involved in multicultural settings.

As the Author of Cultural Diversity in Health and Illness, 4th. edition, I've been involved in the field of diversity for over twenty five years. At no time have I encountered a book such as Multicultural Celebrations that is as sound, practical, and valuable as this text. Dresser delves into the unasked questions of our day to day lives and offers invaluable pointers for "what to do" in a wide range of social encounters. Given today's rapidly changing environment, she provides basic information for our enhancement and enjoyment of living in a multicultural society. This book makes a valuable contribution to the cultural information needed by all of us - in both our work and personal lives.
