Understanding Human Differences: Multicultural Education for a Diverse America (5th Edition) – eBook

Koppelman’s Understanding Human Differences 5th Edition (PDF) is an accessible, widely popular and well-written resource that uses a stimulating inquiry approach to engage readers in discussion and debate around the most critical issues of diversity in America. Grounded in research from behavioral and social sciences–including education, sociology, biology, psychology, history, women’s studies, anthropology, and ethnic studies–the textbook uses the question-and-answer format to bring real meaning and understanding to the topics.

The ebook’s conceptual framework focuses on culture, the individual, and institutions. The first section examines individual concerns, the second section describes the cultural/historical context, and the third section explores classism, sexism, racism, hetero-sexism, and ableism by addressing all three areas such as historical biases based on cultural norms, individual prejudices based on myths, misconceptions, and stereotypes about diverse groups, and how institutional discrimination advantages dominant group members and disadvantages oppressed groups. The last section focuses on changes already achieved or that need to be implemented in schools and other areas of society to create a more just society. The Enhanced Pearson eText features embedded videos and assessments.
