Redeeming Leadership: An Anti-Racist Feminist Intervention

Description

In this thought-provoking and accessible new study, Helena Liu suggests that anti-racist feminism can challenge conventional models and practices of power. How might imperialist and masculinist grips on leadership be loosened? Combining a critical review of leadership theory with enlightening examples from around the world, the book shows how the intellectual and activist elements of feminist movements provide antidotes to contemporary leadership research and practice. For those interested in management, organisation, feminism, race and many more studies, it sets the agenda for a radical reimagining of control and leadership in all its forms.

Helena Liu is Senior Lecturer at UTS Business School, Australia. Central to her work is the critique of how imperialism, white supremacy, capitalism and patriarchy sustain our enduring romance with leadership.

"Helena Liu writes an incisive critique of whiteness and anti-woman scholarship while articulating a stirring call for change in the way we think about, practice and research Leadership. A must-read for any scholar seriously engaging with Leadership." Sadhvi Dar, Queen Mary University of London
