Institutional Racism, Organizations & Public Policy, Hardback Book

Institutional Racism, Organizations & Public Policy Hardback

Part of the Black Studies and Critical Thinking series

Hardback

Description

Institutional racism may be described as a self-perpetuating and opaque process where, either intentionally or unintentionally, barriers and procedures which disadvantage ethnic minority groups are supported and maintained.

It is often the direct linkage and thus the underlying cause for the lack of diversity and cultural competency in the workplace.

Yet institutional racism, as a research topic, has been ignored by scholars because it forces emphasis on the unseen and unspoken, yet culturally relevant underpinnings of the workplace and societal ethos.

Studies touching on diversity in the public administration research often address the subject as education and training – especially with regard to the competencies needed by professional administrators.

However, racism and discrimination, as underlying factors, are seldom addressed.

Once specific examples of institutional racism have been identified in an organization, change agents may take prescriptive steps to address it directly and thus have a more cogent argument for change.
