DEI Books
- The Color Bind by Erica Gabrielle Foldy; Tamara R. BuckleyCall Number: ebookISBN: 9781610448215Publication Date: 2014-02-28Since the 1960s, the dominant model for fostering diversity and inclusion in the United States has been the "color blind" approach, which emphasizes similarity and assimilation and insists that people should be understood as individuals, not as members of racial or cultural groups. This approach is especially prevalent in the workplace, where discussions about race and ethnicity are considered taboo. Yet, as widespread as "color blindness" has become, many studies show that the practice has damaging repercussions, including reinforcing the existing racial hierarchy by ignoring the significance of racism and discrimination. In The Color Bind, workplace experts Erica Foldy and Tamara Buckley investigate race relations in office settings, looking at how both color blindness and what they call "color cognizance" have profound effects on the ways coworkers think and interact with each other.
