Diversity

Peter Wood traces the birth and evolution of diversity, illuminating how it came to sprawl across politics, law, education, business, entertainment, personal aspiration, religion and the arts as an encompassing claim about human identity.

Peter Wood has written for Partisan Review and other publications. He served as associate provost of Boston University (1992-2002), where he is currently a professor of anthropology.
