| Summary |
"Part memoir and part blueprint for change, this book lays bare the mechanisms of workplace racism, from microaggressions to false accusations. Relentless oppression, at a series of corporate jobs, led to her nervous breakdown and confinement to a psych ward. This experience served as the catalyst for a period of soul-searching that resulted in the biggest revelation of her life and the formation of her own diversity, equity and inclusion consultancy. In this book she articulates the attitudes and behaviors of corporate staff that need changing if equity is to be achieved. Through a series of 'Proposals for Atonement and Reconciliation,' she introduces a strategy that opens the door to the possibility of intrinsic change."--Page 4 of printed paper wrapper (and) Amazon.com. |
