From the Back Cover

"Every once in a great while a book comes along that has the potential to transform the field. John P. Fernandez's Race, Gender & Rhetoric is such a book."--Kathryn C. Turner, Chairperson and Chief, Executive Officer, Standard Technology, Inc. FACT: 98% of America's top positions are still held by white males. FACT: Race and gender discrimination claims are still increasing after 34 years of laws and affirmative action designed to end discrimination. Has this continuing lack of diversity at the top kept race and gender issues from receiving the priority they deserve? How can lingering issues of racism and sexism be solved? Race, Gender & Rhetoric is the landmark work that answers these controversial questions, and is corporate America's definitive work on the subject of gender and race relations in the workplace. Backed by the author's 25 years of research and corporate experience, this timely and authoritative book: summarizes and synthesizes the salient issues and challenges in creating a truly diversity-conscious organization; discusses ways in which corporations can examine their structures, policies, managerial philosophies, and capabilities so that real and permanent change can be realized; includes a complete section detailing best diversity practices in major comapnies--American Express, Coors, Allstate, US West, Niagra Mohawk, and many others.
