Race, Class, and Gender in the United States: An Integrated Study
Using the €œPerson-In-Environment€ (PIE) theoretical framework, this diversity practice text teaches students how to think about their personal reactions and assumptions about diversity and what constitutes cultural competent €œassessment€ and €œintervention€ when working with a broad range of diverse populations.
Â
The diverse populations presented in the text are described within an ecological, strengths perspective. The authors€ thesis is that, in order to work effectively with diverse populations, it is necessary to take into consideration the complex dynamics of social functioning and social oppression. The €œPerson-In-Environment€ theoretical framework provides a basis for analysis of the social, economic, and political reality of these diverse populations. The text presents an affirmative practice approach and builds on the available diversity practice literature.
Â
This text can be used in diversity practice courses, courses on working with oppressed populations, and other practice courses (such as advanced practice) that focus on diversity issues.
