This reading list was prepared by the staff of Rentschler Library at Miami University Hamilton at the request of the Racial Legacies & Learning Planning Committee as a response to a member of the audience at Racial Legacies & Learning IV that was held on September 27, 2000. The audience member asked for a list of suggested readings to enhance his understanding and knowledge of diversity issues and multiculturalism. This listing reflects books that were written by several individuals who have presented relevant and provocative lectures at Miami University over the past few years pertaining to diversity and multiculturalism. The document will expand in the future as additional guests are invited to the University to continue these important dialogues. We encourage readers to visit any of our University libraries to borrow books on the list.
