Crisis as a Platform for Social Change from Strawberry Mansion to Silicon Valley Dr Shelton J Goode

If you could read only one book about diversity this is it! Dr. Shelton Goode answers a collective hunger for a new direction, fresh solutions to old problems, and a different kind of conversation-straight talk with no chaser-to a new generation. Crisis as a Platform for Social Change from Strawberry Mansion to Silicon Valley is Dr. Goode's impassioned wake-up call to take our understanding of diversity to a new level-beyond finger pointing and well-meaning initiatives and toward the shared goal of building inclusive communities, robust companies, and a thriving country! This original and thought-provoking book will help leaders in any setting-business, educational, and community-break out of the status quo and reinvigorate the spirit "that we can do better than this"! The book, which chart's Dr. Goode's own evolution in diversity thinking, includes deeply felt personal perspectives on tensions and uncertainties that can be traced to a country awakening to the fact that it is becoming more diverse and struggling with the social and political changes to make it more inclusive.
