Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ahmed argues that a commitment to diversity is frequently substituted for a commitment to actual change.

Her study is based in universities and her research is primarily in the UK and Australia, but the argument is equally valid in North America and beyond.
