On Being Included: Racism and Diversity in Institutional Life

If you are interested in thinking critically about any aspect of equality, diversity and inclusion this is a must. Ahmed does a very good job in teasing out the pragmatic and discursive processes through which, that despite decades of equality legislation and institutional statements and initiatives aimed at expanding race equality and ethnic diversity, UK universities remain so far behind the starting gate of really getting to grips with the perpetuation of institutional racism at all levels.

It is an excellent book for someone who wants to awaken to the many issues of diversity. Particularly at the university level.

Book was boooooring, but I read it because it was assigned. I'm glad the class is over because I don't want to read this anymore.

A good read if you're in the business of implementing diversity in institutions.

I totally agree with what the author is saying but, her writing is a bit repetitive. A skilled copy editor might be able to help?

A+

Rec'd as advertised. Thank you.

Brilliant book!

This book should be required reading for anyone who works in a university, or in equality/diversity/inclusion in any sector

Useful research.

I liked the book because it opened up my eyes to the hypocrisy plaguing most organizations when it come to their dealings with coloured people. On the other hand, it was a bit over-bearing due to the lengthy stories of racism.in short, an eye opener

Sara Ahmed is everything. This book is a piece of brilliance, especially for those studying whiteness and affect. I would highly recommend.

Theoretical and necessary for those who strive to be inclusive and critical in their teaching and learning practices.
