There is a long tradition of research on politics, power and
exclusion in areas such as sociology, social policy, politics,
women's studies and philosophy. While power has received
considerable attention in mainstream management research and
teaching, it is rarely considered in terms of politics and
exclusion, particularly where the work of women writers is
concerned. This second book in the Routledge Series on Women
Writers in Organization Studies analyses the ways in which women
have theorised and embodied relations of power. Women like Edith
Garrud who, trained in the Japanese art of jujutsu, confronted the
power of the state to champion feminist politics. Others, such as
Beatrice Webb and Alva Myrdal, are shown to have been at the heart
of welfare reforms and social justice movements that responded to
the worst excesses of industrialisation based on considerations of
class and gender. The writing of bell hooks provides a necessarily
uncomfortable account of the ways in which imperialism, white
supremacy and patriarchy inflict unspoken harm, while Hannah
Arendt's work considers the ways in which different modes of
organizing restrict the ability of people to live freely. Taken
together, such writings dispel the myth that work or business can
be separated from the rest of life, a point driven home by Rosabeth
Moss Kanter's observations on the ways in which power and
inequality differentially structure life chances. These writers
challenge us to think again about power, politics and exclusion in
organizational contexts. They provide provocative thinking, which
opens up new avenues for organization theory, practice and social
activism. Each woman writer is introduced and analysed by experts
in organization studies. Further reading and accessible resources
are also identified for those interested in knowing (thinking!)
more. This book will be relevant to students, researchers and
practitioners with an interest in business and management,
organizational studies, critical management studies, gender studies
and sociology. Like all the books in this series, it will also be
interest to anyone who wants to see, think and act differently.
