There are groups in society that experience profound social
problems. Others betray a growing social malaise. Massive academic
underachievement, family dysfunction, substance misuse, violence,
and delinquent behavior are some of the major crises afflicting
groups in the United States and Canada, including Aboriginal
people, African Americans, and certain Hispanic groups. Taylor adds
to this list the escalating number of so-called "street kids"
roaming inner-city streets. To a lesser but no less frightening
extent, he includes what has traditionally symbolized society's
most privileged group-young white men. He asserts that while these
are not the only groups who stand out as noticeably disadvantaged,
they are among the most visible and, due to his research and
activities, allow him to test his arguments and offer his proposals
for change. Drawing upon his research experience in Canada, the
United States, South Africa, and Indonesia, Taylor examines the
impact of assimilation and the policies of cultural diversity and
multiculturalism on these groups. He offers surprising insights
into the causes of group malaise and individual failure, and his
conclusions are bound to be of significant interest to scholars,
students, and researchers involved with intergroup dynamics and
cultural diversity.
