Publisher's Synopsis
Equity in Practice: Transformational Training Resource offers rich insights into issues facing multicultural, multi-ethnic societies. Specifically, the book focuses on Canadian society, the reality of its multiculturalism and the challenges of attaining equity in such a diverse society. Despite the existence of laws prohibiting prejudice and discrimination, there remain challenges in realizing true equity. This is in part due to the diverse and, at times, biased perceptions of others: those that are different. Realizing equity is a worthwhile challenge even in the face of such obstacles. It requires constant learning from the experiences of others aimed at reducing the gaps in perceptions and actions thereof. This resource offers one such artifact that can help bridge gaps that could otherwise result in friction in a multicultural, multi-ethnic society. This is a valuable publication that would help in our understanding of diversity and the need to tap into the said diversity for the sake of the common good.
