Summary:
"An essential tool for individuals,
organizations
, and communities of all sizes to jump-start dialogue on
racism
and bias and to
transform
well-intentioned statements on diversity into concrete actions -- from a leading Harvard social psychologist.
How
can
I become part of the solution? In the wake of the social unrest of 2020 and growing calls for racial justice, many business leaders and ordinary citizens are asking that very question. This book provides a compass for all those
seeking
to begin the work of anti-racism. In The
Conversation
, Robert Livingston addresses three simple but profound questions: What is
racism
? Why should everyone be more concerned
about
it? What
can
we do to eradicate it? For some, the existence of systemic
racism
against Black people is hard to accept because it violates the notion that the world is fair and just. But the rigid racial hierarchy created by slavery did not collapse after it was abolished, nor did it end with the civil rights era. Whether it's the composition of a company's leadership team or the composition of one's neighborhood, these racial divides and disparities continue to show up in every facet of society. For Livingston, the difference between a solvable problem and a solved problem is knowledge, investment, and determination. And the goal of making
organizations
more diverse, equitable, and inclusive is within our capability. Livingston's lifework is showing people
how
to turn difficult conversations
about
race into productive instances of real change. For decades he has translated science into practice for numerous
organizations
, including Airbnb, Deloitte, Microsoft, Under Armour, L'Oreal, and JPMorgan Chase. In The
Conversation
, Livingston distills this knowledge and experience into an eye-opening immersion in the science of
racism
and bias. Drawing on examples from pop culture and his own life experience, Livingston, with clarity and wit, explores the root causes of
racism
, the factors that explain why some people care
about
it and others do not, and the most promising paths toward profound and sustainable progress, all while inviting readers to challenge their assumptions. Social change requires social exchange. Founded on principles of psychology, sociology, management, and behavioral economics, The
Conversation
is a road map for uprooting entrenched biases and sharing candid, fact-based perspectives on race that will lead to increased awareness, empathy, and action"--Publisher.
