Diversity — A Diamond in the Rough

Sylvia Vriesendorp

Chapter 1 in Diversity, 2007, pp 14-47 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract What better image to portray the multi facets of diversity than that of a diamond, this unremarkable piece of carbon that, when cut and polished in particular ways, transforms into a jewel that gives a sparkle to life. Diversity, as a biological phenomenon, is simply a fact of life. By “cutting” it and “polishing” it with our joys, hopes and fears, it transforms into something different, ranging from a reason for celebration to a source of trouble and tension.
