Description
Summary:Race & Rhetoric will be the definitive work on the subject of race & gender relations in corporate America. Diversity expert & author John Fernandez has amassed 25 years of research (surveying such companies as AT&T, Coors, & Disney), which will serve as the foundation for this authoritative work. The premise is that while women & people of color have done what "they were told" (e.g. get an education, experience, credentials), they continue to face barriers in becoming full participants in corporate America. Dr. Fernandez' research confirms this, & the book does a thorough job of outlining both the issues & the solutions to this crucial problem. This seminal work is divided into two parts: Part I lays the groundwork by summarizing 25 years of research in seven hard-hitting chapters on race & gender relations: Part II presents concrete, specific solutions to race & gender problems-including chapters on how the right type of leadership is crucial to the race picture, & how traditional bureaucracies must be repl
