Reviewers' comments:

"Diversity is a topic that affects us all, but it’s also one that is complex and often misunderstood...

Demystifying Diversity broaches the subject at a very human level, providing background and theory before going on to consider what that may mean for you and me. The authors have considered the needs of everyday people, particularly those who have to manage others or run successful organisations, bringing greater understanding and increased con dence to a topic that can often confuse.”

– From the Foreword by Peter Horrocks CBE

“....an accessible, engaging and thoughtful book which addresses a range of potentially complex and contentious subjects in a quite unique way.”

– Paul Deemer, Head of Equality, Diversity and Human Rights, NHS Employers

“This is a great read for anyone ... in the world of diversity ... Gets you thinking about how you can make things happen in your organisation.”

– Kate Nash, Kate Nash Associates

"Fearless and illuminating, Demystifying Diversity penetrates one of the most pressing issues of our day, and shines a spotlight on the taboos we often shy away from."

– Jeremy Massey author of The Last Four Days of Paddy Buckley
