This passionate, intelligent commentary is an invigorating look at the implications of difference and diversity in two contrasting but similar societies: the United States and South Africa. "Melting Pots and Rainbow Nations" addresses how differences - of gender, race, culture, biology, and sexual orientation - are variously understood and acted on in both countries.
