The Language of diversity

"This article asks the question, 'what does diversity do?' by drawing on interviews with diversity practitioners based in higher education in Australia. It shows that diversity as a term is used strategically by practitioners as a solution to what has been called 'equity fatigue'; it is a term that more easily supports existing organisational ideals or even organisational pride. What makes diversity useful also makes it limited: it can become detached from histories of struggle for equality."

UK has no reason to be smug on race relations / Sunday Herald, 23 September 2007

Joanna Blythman
"IT IS hard to watch the events now unfolding in the small Louisiana town of Jena without being reminded of the eerie lyrics of Strange Fruit, the song immortalised by Billie Holiday in 1939, which condemned American racism by using graphic imagery to describe the lynching of African Americans in the US's reactionary and backward Deep South: "Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze/Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees." [...] It is too easy to be smug about the superior state of race relations in the UK. No nooses, thank heavens - but segregation and discrimination prevail"
