Description

A powerful intervention into Britain's relationship with race and power. Nazir Afzal, a trailblazer in his own right, challenges the status quo and demands answers to an age-old question: why does ethnic minority talent continue to be side-lined. Afzal draws on his own experiences as a Muslim lawyer in predominantly white institutions, as well as insights from high-profile leaders across various sectors. He presents a bristling polemic that forcefully confronts stale leadership orthodoxies and argues for the need to welcome diverse leadership talent. This book is a call to action, offering a blueprint for change and shedding light on the prejudice holding our leading institutions back. With interviews from key figures in the field, Afzal provides a detailed examination of the barriers facing ethnic minority leaders and what changes are needed to make a difference. A timely and thought-provoking read, this book is essential reading for anyone looking to understand the complexities of racial equality in Britain today.
