Now available in paperback with a new preface and foreword by Stella Nkomo.

How might imperialist, masculinist and white supremacist grips on leadership be loosened? In this thought-provoking and accessible new study, Helena Liu suggests that anti-racist feminism can challenge conventional models and practices of power.

Combining a critical review of leadership theory with enlightening examples from around the world, the book shows how the intellectual and activist elements of feminist movements provide antidotes to contemporary leadership research and practice. For those interested in management, organisation, feminism, race and many more studies, it sets the agenda for a radical reimagining of control and leadership in all its forms.

Reviews for Redeeming Leadership: An Anti-Racist Feminist Intervention

... (There) are four options for resistance against the structural violence that governs university and corporate leadership. It all starts with decolonizing one's mind or what might also be called A Short Course in Intellectual Self-Defense - Find your inner Chomsky . Secondly, find non-abusive and non-violent ways of relating to other people while trying to escape the pathological nightmare of Managerialism that governs our workplaces. Thirdly, re-imaging social meaning beyond the myths of leadership; and fourthly, read Helena Liu's exquisite book, Redeeming Leadership. Counterpunch ... carefully, thoughtfully, evocatively and elegantly illuminates profound problems facing leadership theory and practice and offers powerful strategies for addressing those problems. Management Learning, Suze Wilson Liu's publication presents a highly recommended and hopeful read for all who wish to practise true allyship and urgently free leadership from the confines of oppression. LSE Review of Books This is a substantial piece of work... The book is a reminder of how important it is for critical scholars to reach out and engage in activities of change.
