«This book excels at breaking down complex issues and offers a nuanced understanding of how structural and systemic inequalities manifest in everyday interpersonal behaviours and attitudes. What I particularly appreciate, especially from a Global South perspective, is the close attention it pays to historical and geopolitical contexts, offering rich layers of insight. McFadden tackles often misunderstood concepts, making the text incredibly valuable for both students, scholars and practitioners. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible analysis, making it an essential resource in the field of EDI.»

«Ciarán McFadden's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace is the best book I have encountered for studying EDI principles in business, HR, employment and economics. The blend of contemporary theories, real-life examples and policy implications brings a dynamic energy to the subject, encouraging learners, educators, policymakers and the wider public to recognize the importance of EDI in building human and societal capital. The book covers a vast array of critical topics and, most importantly, presents them in a clear and highly accessible manner. It surpasses all others currently available by enhancing learners' employability skills and preparing them for success in business environments.»
