Silencing Gender, Age, Ethnicity and Cultural Biases in Leadership
is an edited volume containing eight chapters, each a real-life
account from a Latina in a leadership position in the United
States. These women discuss how their professional goals may
conflict with their culture's expectations for them, and they
describe the complexity of life choices for Latinas in the
workplace, including their struggles in challenging such social
assumptions. Although some of the contributors come from Latin
American countries and others were born in the United States, all
eight women share similar backgrounds in regards to gender, age,
ethnicity, or other forms of cultural biases they have encountered
in both their professional and social experiences. The theme
presented in this book is extremely relevant to the modern
workplace-not only where men and women of different ages, ethnic,
and religious backgrounds come together, attempting to be effective
in their professional setting, but also where biases that try to
silence minorities still prevail. This book is not a compilation of
victimizing stories; on the contrary, it serves as a statement of
success despite adversities.
