Diversity in Organizations

A Critical Examination

By: Cedric Herring,Loren Henderson

Diversity in Organizations argues that ensuring a diverse workforce composition has tangible benefits for organizations. Rather than relying on touchy-feely arguments, Herring and Henderson present compelling evidence that directly links diversity to the bottom line. Readers will learn: How and why diversity is related to business performance The impact of diversity training programs on productivity, business performance and promotions The biggest mistakes in diversity management, and how to avoid them What can be done to make diversity initiatives more effective and politically palatable How to measure success in diversity initiatives in rigorous, non-technical ways to achieve desired results Presented accessibly, without shying away from the contentious aspects of diversity, the book also provides concrete advice and guidance to those who seek to implement diversity programs and initiatives in their organizations, and to make their companies more competitive. Students taking classes in diversity, human resource management, sociology of work, and organizational psychology will find this a comprehensive, helpful resource.

Skin Deep

How Race and Complexion Matter in the "color-blind" Era

By: Cedric Herring

Why do Latinos with light skin complexions earn more than those with darker complexions? Why do African American women with darker complexions take longer to get married than their lighter counterparts? Why did Michael Jackson become lighter as he became wealthier and O.J. Simpson became darker when he was accused of murder? Why is Halle Berry considered a beautiful sex symbol, while Whoopi Goldberg is not? Skin Deep provides answers to these intriguing questions. It shows that although most white Americans maintain that they do not judge others on the basis of skin color, skin tone remains a determining factor in educational attainment, occupational status, income, and other quality of life indicators. Shattering the myth of the color-blind society, Skin Deep is a revealing examination of the ways skin tone inequality operates in America. The essays in this collection-by some of the nation's leading thinkers on race and colorism-examine these phenomena, asking whether skin tone differentiation is imposed upon communities of color from the outside or is an internally-driven process aided and abetted by community members themselves. The essays also question whether the stratification process is the same for African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. Skin Deep addresses such issues as the relationship between skin tone and self esteem, marital patterns, interracial relationships, socioeconomic attainment, and family racial identity and composition. The essays in this accessible book also grapple with emerging issues such as biracialism, color-blind racism, and 21st century notions of race in the U.S. and in other countries.

After One Time

By: Cedric Dey

Cedric Dey is a retired dental surgeon living in Kamsack, Saskatchewan, after a long and variegated life. He left his homeland of British Guiana in the fifties to study at Howard University in Washington, D.C. and Meharry University in Nashville, Tennessee. Following an internship at the Toronto General Hospital and private practice in Toronto he returned to the new nation of Guyana for seven years before settling on the Canadian prairies. In After One Time a fictional narrator reflects on his friendship with three boyhood friends: from carefree beginnings in colonial British Guiana, through adventures and studies in the segregated United States, to professional careers in Canada. A sojourn in their independent homeland brings them full circle.

Drinking with Dickens

Drinking with Dickens

By: Cedric Dickens

Drinking with Dickens is a light-hearted sketch by Cedric Dickens, the great-grandson of Charles Dickens. There are vivid and memorable drinking scenes in Dickens' books, and Drinking with Dickens abounds in recipes, many based on the drinks of Dickensian England and America: Bishop, Dog's Nose, Hot Bowl Punch, Milk Punch, Mint Julep, Sherry Cobbler, Shrub and Negus, to mention only a few. Unbelievably it seems to be the first book on this vast and important subject, and Cedric has added some recipes and experiences of his own. The Victorian sources include a penny notebook dated 1859 and kept by "Auntie Georgie," Georgina Hogarth, when she was looking after the younger children of Charles Dickens at Gads Hill. It starts with a recipe for Ginger Beer, a teetotal drink which calls for a quart of brandy! Then there is the catalogue for the sale of Gads Hill after Charles Dickens died which shows what was in the cellar at that time. This book transcends the generations. Cedric, with an eye for people and detail, describes a whole series of joyous episodes where drink, wisely taken, has been the catalyst.

Combating Racism and Xenophobia

Report of the Transatlantic Commission on Race, Ethnicity, Immigration and Citizenship, 2000-2010

By: Cedric Herring

Throughout history, race and ethnicity have played critical roles in shaping politics, international policies, and the everyday experiences of a vast majority of individuals around the globe. Most nations around the world are now having to face up to culture clashes and the challenges that accompany globalization and the increased movement of people across national borders. Such conflicts include increased competition among racial and ethnic groups for jobs, housing, education, and other scarce resources. Other challenges include international migration and immigration that often change the complexions, racial and ethnic mixes, and cultural compositions of nations. Such transformations are not easy. They often lead to racial tensions, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and at times, even deadly confrontations and warfare. Societies in Europe, the United States, and other parts of the world are in rapid transition. This transition is characterized by changing demographic, economic, and political patterns which, in turn, raise critical issues with respect to governance, fair and just public policy, and the meaning of citizenship. Combating Racism and Xenophobia: Transatlantic and International Perspectives provides an analysis of racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia in the U.S., Europe, and other parts of the world. This book provides a non-technical summary of some of the best thinking on racism and xenophobia from internationally known world leaders, diplomats, and scholars who focus on the international dimensions of intolerance and what can be done to eliminate such problems. Using Transatlantic institutions as examples, it also provides insights and tangible recommendations that, when implemented, go a long way toward resolving problems that stem from racism and xenophobia.
