The race to the top : structural racism and how to fight it
Afzal, Nazir, 1962-2022
Book
Can it be acceptable in 2021 that there are no ethnic minority chief constables, no CEOs in the top 50 NHS Trusts and no permanent secretaries in the civil service? Nazir Afzal knows what it's like to break the glass ceiling, challenge prejudice and shake up predominantly white institutions. Born in Birmingham to first generation Pakistani immigrants, he was the first Muslim to be appointed as a Chief Crown Prosecutor and the most senior Muslim lawyer in the Crown Prosecution Service. His insights into the UK's relationship with race and power have driven him to demand answers to an age old question around Britain's diversity failings: why does ethnic minority talent continue to be side-lined? This book hears from high-profile ethnic minority leaders to discover the hurdles they had to overcome and what changes are needed to make a difference.
