An award-winning journalist shows how workplace diversity initiatives have turned into a profoundly misguided industry - and have done little to bring equality to America’s major industries and institutions.
Diversity has become the new buzzword, championed by elite institutions from academia to Hollywood to corporate America. In an effort to ensure their organizations represent the racial and ethnic makeup of the country, industry and foundation leaders have pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to commission studies, launch training sessions, and hire consultants and diversity czars. But is it working?
In Diversity, Inc., award-winning journalist Pamela Newkirk shines a bright light on the diversity industry, asking the tough questions about what has been effective - and why progress has been so slow. Newkirk highlights the rare success stories, sharing valuable lessons about how other industries can match those gains. But as she argues, despite decades of hand-wringing, costly initiatives, and uncomfortable conversations, organizations have, apart from a few exceptions, fallen far short of their goals.
Diversity, Inc. incisively shows the vast gap between the rhetoric of inclusivity and real achievements. If we are to deliver on the promise of true equality, we need to abandon ineffective, costly measures and commit ourselves to combating enduring racial attitudes.

The whole “diversity issue” has been a failure. Bad marketing & incorrect perspectives have sabotaged a truly inclusive society…and never forget the damaging effects of “religion”.

This is one of the most well-researched and laser-focused books I have ever read on race.
I had some notion of how little diversity initiatives improved representation but the breadth of the failure stunned me.
Newkirk’s analysis of what industry needs to do is brilliant … would love to see her appointed to some kind of advisory role if there is a new administration.

“Diversity” translated means-Let’s screw the white, straight male for less qualified, lesser scoring women, minorities and other protected classes..
How about knowledge, skills, physical/mental ability and experience as a benchmark. Object, content valid testing methods. The 1964 Civil Rights Act was sold to the public as having no quotas. Oops!
The brain, when doing a job, has no gender or race.
“The road to Hell….”
