The Oxford Handbook of American Immigration and Ethnicity
by
The Oxford Handbook of American Immigration and Ethnicity explores how Americans think of themselves and how science, religion, period of migration, gender, education, politics, and occupational mobility shape both this image and American life. Since the 1965 Immigration Act opened the gates to newer groups, historical writing on immigration and ethnicity has evolved over the years to include numerous immigrant sources and to provide trenchant analyses of American immigration and ethnicity. For the first time, this handbook brings together thirty leading scholars in the field to make sense of all the themes, methodologies, and trends that characterize the debate on American immigration. They examine a wide-range of topics, including pan-ethnicity, whiteness, intermarriage, bilingualism, religion, museum ethnic displays, naturalization, regional mobility, census categorization, immigration legislation and its reception, ethnicity-related crime and gang formation.
Strategic Diversity and Inclusion in Organizations: Unity in Variety
by
This book is an invitation to embark on a transformative journey, to lead with intention, and to build organizations that are not only successful but also equitable, innovative, and reflective of the rich tapestry of humanity. In managerial literature, principal aspects converge on the pivotal role of leadership commitment, where the tone set by top management is foundational for embedding diversity and inclusion (D&I) within an organization's culture. This is complemented by the strategic integration of D&I, ensuring that such initiatives are not isolated programs but interwoven with broader business strategies and objectives. Equally important is the literature's focus on policy development and the implementation of D&I principles, which calls for clear, actionable policies that are consistently enforced. Managerial literature also scrutinizes the impact of organizational culture on D&I outcomes, delving into how inclusive norms and values must permeate every level of the organization. Training and development occupy a central role, addressing the need for continuous learning opportunities that promote D&I competencies among employees and management alike. Communication is another critical aspect, emphasizing transparent, open dialogues about D&I goals and challenges. Lastly, the literature on change management is instrumental, providing insights on managing resistance and fostering an adaptive workforce that is receptive to D&I initiatives. These aspects are explored in depth in this book and collectively shape the discourse on how to effectively manage and nurture a diverse and inclusive organizational environment.
