520    "Today, diverse women of all hues represent this country 
       overseas. Some have called this development the "Hillary 
       Effect." But well before our most recent female secretary 
       of state there was Madeleine Albright, the first woman to 
       serve in that capacity, and later Condoleezza Rice. 
       Beginning at a more junior post in the Department of State
       in 1971, there was"the little Elam girl" from Boston. 
       Diversifying Diplomacytells the story ofHarriet Lee Elam-
       Thomas, a young black woman who beat the odds and 
       challenged the status quo.Inspired by the strong women in 
       her life, shefollowed in the footsteps of the few women 
       who had gone before her in her effort to make the Foreign 
       Service reflect the diverse faces of the United States.The
       youngest child of parents who left the segregated Old 
       South to raise their family in Massachusetts, Elam-Thomas 
       distinguished herself with a diplomatic career at a time 
       when few colleagues looked like her. Elam-Thomas's memoir 
       is a firsthand account of her decades-long career in the 
       U.S. Department of State's Foreign Service, recountingher 
       experiences of making U.S. foreign policy, culture, and 
       values understood abroad. Elam-Thomas served as a United 
       States ambassador to Senegal (2000-2002) and retired with 
       the rank of career minister after forty-two years as a 
       diplomat. Diversifying Diplomacypresents thejourney of 
       this successful woman,who not only found herself 
       confronted by some of the world's heftier problems but 
       also helped ensure that new shepherds of honesty and 
       authenticity would follow in her international footsteps 
       for generations to come."--|cProvided by publisher.
