Breaking The Glass Ceiling

Anthony Stith’s powerful, no-holds-barred book was written by a former "fortune 100" executive. Through a series of true stories he reveals racial and other discriminatory barriers African Americans, other minorities and women employees encounter daily in corporate America. "These policies are not aberrations," says author Anthony Stith, "but reflect the internal attitudes and discord that many leading employers refuse to acknowledge or address." Readers are shown how to identify and over come discriminatory policies in the workplace in highly effective and beneficial ways. The book provides solutions to resolve racial tensions among co-workers as well as sexist practices, lack of equal opportunity for advancement and prejudicial treatment at all corporate levels.

Also, addressed are timely issues–such as the current move to repeal Affirmative Action programs in hiring and educational admissions such as Proposition 209 and other similar legislation. In less than a year they have had devastating effects on hiring practices and have dramatically reduced enrollment in colleges and universities for minorities and women. Also explored are viable ways to reduce double-digit unemployment among African Americans and new approaches for overcoming salary, hiring and advancement inequities encountered in the workplace by minorities and women.
