"The editors, Walter G. Stephan and W. Paul Vogt, have enriched this indispensable collection with wisdom, knowledge, and editorial skills they have acquired from two lifetimes of visionary and influential research in social psychology (Stephan) and sociology and the history of education (Vogt). I have been personally and professionally edified by their significant work as well as their humanity and commitment to social justice for two decades."
