Description
Summary:"Top Forbes writer and DEI consultant explores how whiteness is often centered in the workplace and how individuals and organizations can work to decenter it. Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace exposes how pervasive white-centering is in the modern American workplace and explores how we can work toward decentering whiteness, unpacking the ways that a person can contribute both individually and systemically to the white-centering that occurs in workplace settings. Very few books in the DEI and antiracism space focus on the ways that whiteness is centered. There are often fears within corporate spaces about talking candidly, openly, and honestly about whiteness, white supremacy, and anti-blackness. This book provides a direct and straightforward analysis about what white-centering is, some of the different ways that whiteness is centered in the workplace, how to decenter whiteness within oneself, and how to decenter whiteness at work"--
