Racism has not been eradicated, despite the enormous strides taken over the past fifty years. It has mutated into new and subtler forms and has found new ways to survive. The racism in organisations today is not characterised by hostile abuse and threatening behaviour. it is not overt nor is it obvious. Today racism is subtle and nuanced, detected mostly by the people on the receiving end, but ignored and possibly not even seen by perpetrators and bystanders. Racism today may be more refined, but it harms people’s careers and lives in hugely significant ways. Racism in organisations continues to exist due to our complacency and indifference.

This book describes the origins and evolution of the race bias that distorts our organisations. it explores the effects of race bias. And it confronts the actions that we need to take to make organisations truly equal.

Racism is not a thing of the past - yet. But we can make it so.
