Indivisible : how to forge our differences into a stronger future
\"Denise Hamilton has always believed in the power and promise of a word she learned as a schoolgirl: \"indivisible.\" In her groundbreaking debut, she challenges readers to move beyond current notions of diversity and inclusion to build communities, workplaces, and relationships that live up to that word. She urges us to reexamine long-held beliefs and habits and to dismantle hierarchies that shape our current society. If we want to repair the fraying stitches that bind us together, if we want to build a truly close-knit collective, we cannot settle for our present approach. It's time to recalibrate and identify a goal higher than inclusivity-the goal of indivisibility. As a nationally recognized DEI leader, Hamilton shares accessible, personal stories and offers self-examination questions, intentional action steps, and journal prompts. While the book has a focus on business and leadership, the lessons within can transform our professional and personal lives\"-- Provided by publisher.

Leadership toolkit for Asians : the definitive resource guide for breaking the bamboo ceiling
\"Breakthrough strategies to help Asian Americans in the workplace build their personal leadership acumen and map a career advancement path that is achievable, authentic, and culturally relevant. 17 years after Jane Hyun wrote her groundbreaking book, Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling, Asians remain grossly underrepresented in the upper ranks of American organizations. Asians are 12% of the workforce, but just 1.5% of Fortune 500 corporate officers. Hyun says for Asians to lead authentically, they need to move away from \"code switching\" and \"getting along by going along.\" This workbook is built around her three-part framework for developing an intentional, courageous, culturally grounded approach to working and leading: ASSESS: Identify your personal and professional values, assets, and style. EQUIP: Learn to navigate the organizational environment-push back against stereotypes, find mentors and advisors, develop your professional networks, and more. TRANSFORM: Pull it all together to create your own leadership blueprint. The Toolkit is full of activities to help readers put ideas into action. It also includes inspiring real-life lessons from Asian executives and leaders. The Asian Leadership Toolkit acknowledges the wide range of cultures, identities, and experiences that exist within Asian America, and sees the particulars of identity not as impediments but as integral to crafting a bespoke leadership journey\"-- Provided by publisher.

Ethnic minorities and industrial change in Europe and North America
Western industrial societies have undergone a massive transformation since the 1980s, and this is particularly noticeable in the older cities whose economies were based on labour intensive industry. In the period following World War II racial and ethnic minorities, who migrated from overseas or from the rural areas within the same country, formed a pool of low-paid labour upon which the prosperity of the industrial city depended. With the subsequent reorganisation of these economics, industrial production shifted overseas, while the new technological industries expanded locally, requiring fewer, and better skilled workers. The consequence for those seemingly excluded from the prosperity of the post-industrial age has been disastrous. In this collection of essays, edited by Malcolm Cross, leading authorities compare the situation of racial minorities in the post-industrial cities of Europe and North America, and examine ways in which their position can be ameliorated. The authors ask whether it is true that racial discrimination is no longer the main problem to be overcome in combating racial inequality, and consider whether racial minorities should remigrate in search of work, or concentrate their efforts in developing the kind of skills required by the new technology. They suggest that failure to find a solution that ensures greater equality for racial minorities may inevitably lead to a ghetto society where cities are the focus of unrest and urban rioting.

On the line
\"How does one put into words the rage that workers feel when supervisors threaten to replace them with workers who will not go to the bathroom in the course of a fourteen-hour day of hard labor, even if it means wetting themselves on the line?\"-From the PrefaceIn this gutsy, eye-opening examination of the lives of workers in the New South, Vanesa Ribas, working alongside mostly Latino/a and native-born African American laborers for sixteen months, takes us inside the contemporary American slaughterhouse. Ribas, a native Spanish speaker, occupies an insider/outsider status there, enabling her to capture vividly the oppressive exploitation experienced by her fellow workers. She showcases the particular vulnerabilities faced by immigrant workers-a constant looming threat of deportation, reluctance to seek medical attention, and family separation-as she also illuminates how workers find connection and moments of pleasure during their grueling shifts. Bringing to the fore the words, ideas, and struggles of the workers themselves,On The Lineunderlines how deep racial tensions permeate the factory, as an overwhelmingly minority workforce is subject to white dominance. Compulsively readable, this extraordinary ethnography makes a powerful case for greater labor protection, especially for our nation's most vulnerable workers.
