No More Mr. Nice Guy: The Undoing of an African American: How I Survived a Corporate Career Derailment

In clear prose, No More Mr. Nice Guy by James E. Alston draws extensive conclusions on race relations in corporate America. In this professional biography, he writes with a heartfelt conviction from an insider's perspective as a top restaurant executive for over thirty years. An analysis that is well overdue, the author outlines the instances and impact of evasive, covert discriminatory practices of managers and coworkers on all levels of employment. This meaningful field guide is a reminder that discrimination is as much of a challenge today as it was thirty years ago. Explosive and honest, the buck stops here in a revealing testimony of the insidious nature of the good old boy's club. From bouts with racist recriminations and coworkers' sexual harassment, the author sets a bold course to tell it like it is on the frontlines of the American food and beverage industry. An eye opening must-read for managers and executives-this book inspires not only outrage, but also action.
