 Diversity Gains: Stepping Stones and Pitfalls By Sarah Bollinger (editor), Carsten Mildner (editor) 2020 | 234 Pages | ISBN: 3848768747 | PDF | 9 MB Diversity is gaining in visibility, acceptance and creativity, but also in contradictions and complexity. In this book, the authors discuss experiences, analysis, practices and policies from Europe, USA and Africa in essays, articles and a poem. The contributions range from social differentiation within the Kenyan middle class, inclusive art and education, to politics and experiences relating to disability, gender, race and sexuality. All the contributions discuss how we confront diversity and social complexity, and how we can transform 'Diversity Gains' into something beneficial for everyone. The authors and editors are anthropologists, scholars of art and literature, teachers, sociologists, journalists and activists from Europe, Africa and the USA.  Sheila Murnaghan, "Disguise and Recognition in the Odyssey" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0739129538 | EPUB | pages: 150 | 1.4 mb Disguise and Recognition in the Odyssey reveals the significance of the Odyssey's Description, in particular the many scenes of recognition that make up the hero's homecoming and dramatize the cardinal values of Homeric society, an aristocratic culture organized around recognition in the broader senses of honor, privilege, status, and fame. Odysseus' identity is seen to be rooted in his family relations, geographical origins, control of property, participation in the social institutions of hospitality and marriage, past actions, and ongoing reputation. At the same time, Odysseus' dependence on the acknowledgement of others ensures attention to multiple viewpoints, which makes the Odyssey more than a simple celebration of one man's preeminence and accounts in part for the poem's vigorous afterlife. The theme of disguise, which relies on plausible lies, highlights the nature of belief and the power of falsehood and creates the mixture of realism and fantasy that gives the Odyssey its distinctive texture. The book contains a pioneering analysis of the role of Penelope and the questions of female agency and human limitation raised by the critical debate about when exactly she recognizes that Odysseus has come home.  Miguel Angel Centeno, "Discrimination in an Unequal World" English | ISBN: 0199732167 | 2010 | 320 pages | PDF | 1344 KB Is globalization making our world more equal, or less? Proponents of globalization argue that it is helping and that in a competitive world, no one can afford to discriminate except on the basis of skills. Opponents counter that globalization does nothing but provide a meritocratic patina on a consistently unequal distribution of opportunity. Yet, despite the often deafening volume of the debate, there is surprisingly little empirical work available on the extent to which the process of globalization over the past quarter century has had any effect on discrimination.
