Using examples ripped from the headlines, pulled from diversity training, and repeated at the water cooler, Bates-Ballard and Smith offer multiple ways we can all deal with comments that are offensive or insensitive. With their open and balanced approach, their humor, and their admonition that we should all model the respect we want to receive, Navigating Diversity is an important tool for diversity advocates and for others.
