Download or read book Beyond Token Change written by Anne Bishop and published by Halifax, N.S. : Fernwood. This book was released on 2005 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a case study as its starting point, this guide examines the patterns of oppression built into organizations and institutions. Such systems of discrimination and oppression originate not with individuals within the institution, but rather the dynamics within the institutions themselves. Attention is given to the tactics employed to achieve equality and overcome oppressive attitudes in the workplace. According to this analysis, the true test of an institution's intentions is whether its policies achieve only token change or transform its deeper structure.
