In \u003ci\u003eIdentifying Talent, Institutionalizing Diversity\u003c\/i\u003e, Jiannbin Lee Shiao explains the leading role that large philanthropies have played in establishing diversity as a goal throughout American society in the post-civil rights era. By creating and institutionalizing diversity policies, these private organizations have quietly transformed the practice of affirmative action. Shiao describes how, from the 1960s through the 1990s, philanthropies responded to immigration, the recognition of nonblack minority groups, and the conservative backlash against affirmative action. He shows that these pressures not only shifted discourse and practice within philanthropy away from a binary black-white conception of race but also dovetailed with a change in its mission from supporting \"good causes\" to \"identifying talent.\"\u003cp\u003eBased on three years of research on the racial and ethnic priorities of the San Francisco Foundation and the Cleveland Foundation, Shiao demonstrates the geographically uneven impact of the national transition to diversification. The demographics of the regions served by the foundations in San Francisco and Cleveland are quite different, and paradoxically, the foundation in Cleveland-which serves an area with substantially fewer immigrants-has had greater institutional opportunities for implementing diversity policies. Shiao connects these regional histories with the national philanthropic field by underscoring the prominent role of the Ford Foundation, the third largest private foundation in the country, in shaping diversity policies. \u003ci\u003eIdentifying Talent, Institutionalizing Diversity\u003c\/i\u003e reveals philanthropic diversity policy as a lens through which to focus on U.S. race relations and the role of the private sector in racial politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jiannbin Lee Shiao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.88h x 6.54w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822334477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2005 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJiannbin Lee Shiao is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Oregon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40198566445171,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a61b5150-ee0d-49f2-a360-a0405f699367.jpg?v=1656078854","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/identifying-talent-institutionalizing-diversity-race-and-philanthropy-in-post-civil-rights-america-9780822334477","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
