3 Stars - "This text offers much to faculty and students desiring a deeper understanding of cultural diversity. It differs from other works on cultural diversity in that it reflects lessons learned from the TLC project. Further, it points to the potential for greater societal unity based on an increased understanding of this important subject."

"Understanding Cultural Diversity is an excellent book that takes cultural diversity into a new context and into current waters. All levels of students and nursing professionals can utilize this book when seeking to practice more culturally relevant care."
--Minority Nurse, Summer 2000
"The editors' basic premise is that understanding cultural diversity is essential in the worlds of today and tomorrow. Also, they assert that in nursing, as in other areas of education, understanding diversity needs to be embedded in the entire curriculum and not simply added on. Finally, diversity and the curriculum can be best understood not only as an academic endeavor but also how it plays out in the community through nursing practice. . . .this book stands by itself as a fine contribution to understanding the many relationships that exist when cultural diversity is adopted as a value in curriculum and community. Chapters of this book can be used selectively with undergraduate and graduate students as well as with faculty members."

"This is a very thought provoking text. . .one that all academic and health science libraries should have in order to challenge not only students but instructors and faculty."
