"A comprehensive guide focuses on how to increase diversity and
inclusion in society. . . . Managers, CEOs, and hiring directors—as
well as ordinary people—will find a great deal of valuable insights
in these pages. . . . A useful, forcefully written, and
wide-ranging study of inequities—and how to fix them."
—KIRKUS REVIEWSRohit Bhargava and Jennifer Brown’s progressive and
inspiring book Beyond Diversity suggests means of building a more
inclusive and accepting world. A wide range of voices and
experiences are included, including transgender people and people
of color, and the text leans into the successes that people have
had when faced with challenges, helping to show what’s possible.
The result is a book that makes daunting arenas, including those of
family, personal identity, and work, feel accessible to change.The
prose is straightforward and direct, and is complemented by the
book’s bold design choices and approachable, short paragraphs. But
its accessibility belies the power of its vision for what societies
might achieve. It acknowledges hard realities, as of racism, while
asking people to hold institutions accountable for any inequalities
in them. And it welcomes discussions about identity, which it says
should be approached with “less judgment and more patience.” Its
thoughtful mix of ideas that can be implemented in groups with
those that operate on the individual level are concrete; they
recognize that “changing ourselves and our actions is hard,” but
still say that diversity is worth the effort.Beyond Diversity is a
cogent social science book that knows that progressive, meaningful
change, though it may require collective action, begins with
individuals.—Clarion Review"Beyond Diversity provides a much-needed
directive for those in power to get educated and use their
influence to finally break down the barriers that have left so many
of us behind."
