Discrimination on the basis of race and color

The heightened focus on racism and colorism in recent years has deepened scholarly attention to the pervasive emergence and impact of racism and colorism within organizations. In this review, we begin by exploring the diverse ways in which racism manifests within organizations. We then address the complexities and variations that exist within racial categories - exploring colorism and the ways targets of racism and colorism manage their identities. Finally, we present strategies to address and mitigate these evolving issues of racism and colorism, and we offer insights for both practice and future research.
