Challenging Biases: Facing Our Fears...Beyond Race and CultureA dialogue on the issue of diversity by Deya Brashears and GJ Kinley.It covers a wide breadth of topics generally not explored in other publications. In the topic race and culture, we take a look at age, class, physical attributes, and gender. Some of the sub-topics we chose to explore are body size, sexual orientation, homelessness, religious practice, political views and geographic stereotypes. Actual interviews of individuals who represent these and other groups provide real-life examples of common biases and their impact on people. Our book is intended for use by a wide audience including educators, sociologists, the corporate work force and others interested in learning more about bias in society. A readable book, Challenging Biases examines the comlexities involved with diversity, yet suggests some practical ideas for challenging and facing the fears involved in bias.
