The world was dealt a blow that included a pandemic and economic
crisis as well as racial unrest, initiating an energized charge for
social justice advocacy. The United States is currently facing an
unprecedented challenge in ensuring that all citizens live in a
fair, inclusive, and opportunity-rich society. These issues have
heightened questions about racial justice that have been placated
but can no longer be ignored. Marginalized communities cannot
thrive if they continue to be oppressed, neglected, disinvested,
and isolated from economic opportunity. The culture of allyship
needs to be enacted thoughtfully and not performatively to create
sustainable change through a critical mass of engaged advocates and
activists. Many organizations enable the status quo by not
confronting issues around race, gender, and equity. Leaders of
color want a seat at the table as highly valued contributors for
the transformation of a just and equitable America. By listening to
the voices of Black and Brown leaders, the promotion of change in
an era of social unrest will finally occur. Black and Brown
Leadership and the Promotion of Change in an Era of Social Unrest
amplifies the voices of leaders who identify as Black, LatinX,
Indigenous, or people of color as they navigate leadership during a
time of tumultuous change and social unrest. More specifically, it
portrays dilemmas that marginalized communities encounter while
advocating for justice and social change within whitestream
organizational systems. The chapters delve into the definitions,
perceptions, and lived experiences of Americanism, identity,
otherness, and racism as it relates to leadership and discusses the
issues, dilemmas, struggles, and successes that persons of color
experience in leadership roles in business and education. This book
is valuable for practitioners and researchers working in the field
of social justice leadership in various disciplines, social justice
activists and advocates, teachers, policymakers, politicians,
managers, executives, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and
students interested in how leaders of color can succeed, navigate
hostile spaces, and ultimately create a change in mindsets and
practices that will lead to justice.
