| Description | Before outlining potential critical perspectives on diversity in organizations, this chapter will review what it sees as more 'mainstream' research and theory on organizational diversity and take it as a point of departure for the rest of the book. The chapter does not suggest a particularly damning attack on this work but will argue that its approaches paint a particular picture of diversity in organizational life, one with potential strengths, contributions, weaknesses, and concerning omissions. Mainstream diversity literature is defined broadly here in terms of dominant streams of articles published in top management, psychology and HR journals, often North American in tradition, often taking a quantitative, positivistic methodological approach in attempting to find generalizable, scientific-type findings about workplace diversity and its effects. This is not necessarily a perfect characterization of the literature, and over-generalizations would not be advisable, but it will serve for reviewing significant amounts of work that has taken, and continues to adopt, a particular style or genre in how it pursues and presents diversity research and findings.
