‘This is an honest, thought-provoking book that takes you on a journey of discomfort that leaves you reflecting on your personal and professional relationship with race and racism.’ CHERYL SAMUELS, People & Culture Director, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust
‘The first question I hear from organisations seeking to incorporate racial equity practice is, “What do we do?” Dr Shereen Daniels answers that question with clarity, depth, and practical direction. This book should be on every organisational leader’s bookshelf.’ DR ROBIN DIANGELO, New York Times bestselling author of White Fragility
An applied framework for examining and addressing the structural roots of systemic racism in the workplace
Many organisations recognise that disparities exist, yet struggle to move beyond zero-tolerance statements, commitments and activity towards meaningful and sustained change.
In the book The Anti-Racist Organization: Dismantling Systemic Racism in the Workplace, Dr Shereen Daniels provided a framework for understanding how systemic racism operates within organisations. The follow-up, The Anti-Racist Organization Workbook, builds on that foundation by providing a structured pro cess for examining how these issues show up in practice within your own organisation.
Rather than focusing solely on statements, policies, awareness-raising or the implementation of individual initiatives, Daniels guides leaders, HR professionals and organisational practitioners through a disciplined process of examination. Through structured exercises, reflective prompts and facilitated discussion activi ties, readers are supported to identify recurring patterns, examine how decisions and judgements are made in practice, and develop a clearer understanding of the organisational conditions that continue to produce and sustain those patterns.
Whether used individually, in teams or as part of wider change programmes, The Anti-Racist Organization Workbook provides organisations with a structured approach for examining what is happening, why, and what it would take to reshape workplace systems and practices in support of their ambition to become a fair and welcoming employer for all.
