Diversity Regimes Why Talk Is Not Enough to Fix Racial Inequality at Universities

"A truth-telling sociological masterpiece. With impressive rigor, Thomas offers compelling insights into processes that almost always fail to actualize espoused institutional commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Every college and university leader, especially presidents, should read this important book." - Shaun R. Harper (Provost Professor and Executive Director, University of Southern California Race and Equity Center) "Thorough and insightful on many levels, Diversity Regimes provides a unique exploration of how the approaches taken to diversity work in higher education can reinforce instead of redress racial inequality on college campuses." - W. Carson Byrd (coeditor of Intersectionality and Higher Education: Identity and Inequality on College Campuses) "Diversity Regimes: Author discusses his new book on 'why talk is not enough to fix racial inequality at universities,'" by Scott Jaschik
Many college presidents, diversity officers, student affairs professionals, and diversity workers will recognize condensation, decentralization, and staging diversity in their own institutions. They should all read this book. As Maya Angelou said, 'Know better, do better.'"
