- Summary
- "As a society, we have learned to value diversity. But can some strategies to achieve diversity mask deeper problems, ones that might require a different approach and different solutions? With Inclusion, Steven Epstein argues that in the field of medical research, the answer is an emphatic yes." "A history, analysis, and call to action, Inclusion will be essential reading for medical professionals, policymakers, and any concerned citizen."--BOOK JACKET.
