Whether you are a leader, manager, or individual contributor, this book will help you see biases that are often hard to detect, and support you with ideas and practices to address them. --TARA MOHR, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Playing Big An informed, incisive consideration of how racial biases at work could be overcome.--KIRKUS REVIEWS A leading sociologist reveals why racial inequality persists in the workplace despite today\'s multi-billion-dollar diversity industry--and provides actional solutions for creating a truly equitable, multiracial future.

These reforms would create workplaces that reflect America\'s increasingly diverse population--professionals whose needs organizations today are ill-prepared to meet. It\'s time to prepare for a truly equitable, multiracial future and move our culture forward. To do so, we mu
