I thought folks would find this of interest: Richard L. Zweigenhaft and G. William Domhoff have updated their 1998
book, Diversity in The Power Elite,
which reveals the high-class backgrounds and Ivy League educations of many of
the women and people of color who make it into positions in the power elite. At
the same time they discuss the kinds of barriers that keep women and people of
color from moving ahead at the rates that should be expected. In addition to
updating the book, they’ve added a stronger ending on how the power elite
has been able to take advantage of the diversity forced upon it. They outline
the many ironies of diversity, including the ways in which it has been used to
legitimate class domination. (The Bush Cabinet is an ideal illustration in this
regard.) This book has worked well in many different types of courses, particularly
those having to do with gender, class, race, and power. For further information on the book, click on: http://tinyurl.com/om5ty

Reid Hester, Rowman and Littlefield’s marketing director, at [EMAIL PROTECTED].
Give him the name of the course you might use it in, the approximate enrollment
in that course, and the term for which you will be considering the book, and he
will mail you a copy. ***************************** Rhonda F. Levine Professor of Sociology Department of Sociology and Anthropology home:
