In these times of unprecedented peril and opportunity, Andrés Tapia, Hewitt Associates' chief diversity officer, reveals how diversity's demographic tsunami is accelerating today's social, economic, and political tectonic shifts. The Inclusion Paradox: The Obama Era and the Transformation of Global Diversity breaks ground by challenging the notion that the melting pot leads to inclusion. On the contrary, Tapia makes the case that "equality" often does not equal "same".

In the book, he explores what is required to move into the next generation of diversity work in ways that get past the tired and clichéd approaches.

The Inclusion Paradox: The Obama Era and the Transformation of Global Diversity also focuses on the cultural implications of the Obama Era in the United States and around the world. More than a political point in time, the Obama Era is a cultural marker that succinctly captures the various global trends converging at this time in history. The Inclusion Paradox will enable readers to contribute strategically and practically to the urgent work of making diversity and inclusion relevant to business and organizational success around the world.
