Download or read book On Being Included written by Sara Ahmed and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-28 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ahmed argues that a commitment to diversity is frequently substituted for a commitment to actual change. She traces the work that diversity does, examining how the term is used and the way it serves to make questions about racism seem impertinent. Her study is based in universities and her research is primarily in the UK and Australia, but the argument is equally valid in North America and beyond.
