About this listen

Your DEIJ efforts are stagnating because you continue to center whiteness. Creating a truly anti-racist organization requires learning how to identify and rectify the systemic, and often unconscious, centering of white culture and values in the workplace.

Corporate America continues to struggle with racial equity in a post-George Floyd world. As the United States becomes more diverse and the public consciousness continues to shift, successful racial equity efforts in the workplace are needed now more than ever.

Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace exposes the ways that white culture and expectations are centered in the modern American workplace and the fears within corporate spaces about talking candidly, openly, and honestly about whiteness, white supremacy, and anti-Blackness.

Listeners will discover:

  • A direct and straightforward analysis about what 3-centering is
  • An evaluation of the different ways that Whiteness is centered in the workplace, such as bereavement and holiday policies and dress codes
  • A guide on how to recognize and decenter whiteness within oneself and at work
  • Solutions for people to contribute individually and systemically to anti-oppression

Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace provides a crucial guidebook with practical solutions for leaders, DEIJ practitioners, and anyone hoping to truly create an anti-racist workplace.

Very real and relevant.

This book is exactly what the work force needs to understand how inequities that still exist for people of color. It’s raw and transparent and rich with stories that tell the truth. Must read and check your bias at the door.

So important and relatable

I love this book. I have experienced so much of these micro and macro aggressions that the author explained in this book - unfortunately. The way centering white people is so common that you feel like a crazy, irrational, delusional person when you try to explain your experiences as a Black woman. This book is so well done. Thank you - I’m not crazy, irrational or delusional after all!

If you seek truth, can hear it, and then live it

Add this book to your reading list and then move it to the top! I was so excited to see this book has come out so quickly as an audiobook, I couldn't wait to download it. I've been following Dr. Janice Gassam Asare's newsletters and I find her scholarship and writing to be surgically precise, factually supported, and magnetically charged to inform and educate. Donna M. Schiele narrates this book with clarity and subtle emphasis and emotion that personalizes the experiences of the author and her subjects.
