"I like this text because of its immediate accessibility to the reader, the great diversity of groups represented, the theoretical perspectives of the authors, and the good balance of theory, research, field accounts, and the personal voices that are retained in these accounts. I can think of no single text that combines all the elements present in this edited volume." — Nelson C. Vincent, University of Cincinnati
