Acerca de este libro electrónico
Corporate America continues to struggle with racial equity in a post-George Floyd world. As the United States becomes more diverse and the public consciousness continues to shift, successful racial equity efforts in the workplace are needed now more than ever.

Readers will discover:
- A direct and straightforward analysis about what white-centering is
- An evaluation of the different ways that whiteness is centered in the workplace, such as bereavement and holiday policies and dress codes
- A guide on how to recognize and decenter whiteness within oneself and at work
- Solutions for people to contribute individually and systemically to anti-oppression
