Fusing riveting testimony from African American veterans with the
most incisive research of current military scholars, Black
Veterans, Politics, and Civil Rights in 20th-Century America:
Closing Ranks explores the intersecting characteristics of civil
rights struggle and political activism that was reflected in the
lives of ex-GIs throughout Twentieth Century American history. The
volume examines black veterans’ social and political activities
throughout the 20th Century, from the World Wars, through the
Korean and Vietnam War, and ends with the Persian Gulf War.
Presenting the full flesh and blood experiences of black veterans
who came from backgrounds and from all walks of life, each essay
captures how race, gender, ethnic, class, disability, generation,
and region shaped their experiences in the nation’s military
during times of war and how these issues profoundly affected the
postwar politics they embraced while trying to realize the true
meaning of equality in America. With original essays by emerging
scholars in the field of study, Closing Ranks is a foundational
text for reassessing the relationship between the ex-GI and the
modern nation state and providing readers with a vivid window into
the harsh realities that black citizen-soldiers have faced during
war and its aftermath for nearly a century.
FINALIST: Business Book Awards 2020 - HR & Management Category
In order to achieve sustainable competitive advantage, businesses
need to unlock the skills, talent and capabilities of their people,
both individually and collectively. While many business and leaders
recognise this, they have until now lacked a strategic approach to
achieving it. Competitive People Strategy is a comprehensive
roadmap showing how businesses can connect their human potential to
their bottom line, and provides step-by-step guidance on how to
create, test and measure a differentiated people strategy.
Featuring tips and checklists throughout, it explores the core
building blocks of leadership and organizational culture, as well
as employee experience and engagement. It also examines the roles
of effective talent attraction and management, and how to lead
change and transformation. Central to the book is the importance of
moving HR from a support function to becoming a creator of value
and driver of business success. Drawing upon insights from
organizations including Royal Mail and Starbucks, as well as
interviews with senior HR leaders, Competitive People Strategy is
an essential guide to developing a people strategy which creates a
purpose-driven culture, provides greater value to customers and
achieves superior business results.
