Working Together: Diversity as Opportunityby Mikhail Gorbachev
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From the political arena, the former leader of the communist world and a man who had a major role in ending the Cold War, Mikhail Gorbachev makes a case for diversity being a key factor in creating a much-needed "new civilization". Anthropologist Raine Eisler proposes a partnership approach. Television genius, Norman Lear makes a case for how we can create unity for the good of all, without becoming uniformly the same. As the book's editor, Angeles Arrien, writes in the introduction, "Our challenge is to foster creativity that supports co-operative economics for the purpose of creating a global society that values diversity and universal common ground". Book News Annotation:Eighteen articles (two of which were previously published), extol the
advantages of cultural diversity. Contributors include well-known
figures such as Mikhail Gorbachev, author Riane Eisler, and
screenwriter Norman Lear. A sampling of topics includes unity without
uniformity, interdependence, the treasures and challenges of
diversity for white males, diversity and the human psyche, and
leadership diversity.
