'Equality, Inequality and Diversity, reframes equality and diversity at work through the lenses of intersectionality and change. The text highlights the usefulness of injecting a critical perspective to diversity scholarship, which often focuses on instrumental expectations of business and management leaders. Across a collection of 16 chapters from leading scholars, readers can appreciate the broad spectrum of perspectives and issues that diversity and equality work has come to embrace.' - Mustafa Obilgin, Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Human Resource Management, Brunel Business School
