Biography
Linda L. Ridley is a Doctoral Lecturer at Hostos Community College of the City University of New York (CUNY), USA and CEO of Edgar J. Ridley & Associates, Inc., an international management consulting firm specializing in the behavioral sciences, servicing clients throughout Asia, Africa and the Americas.
“With dramatic clarity, Dr. Linda L. Ridley reveals the reality we have been staring at but never saw. From management textbooks to classroom instruction, educators have ignored the painfully obvious connection between the history of slavery and racism and the teaching of business management. Without incorporating the influence of slavery management into the teaching of management practice we will never “appreciate the barriers to the accumulation of Black wealth that has its history coming out of chattel slavery.” Donald Yacovone, Ph.D. Hutchins Center, Harvard University
“This book could not have come at a better time given the continued silence about chattel slavery and its influence on contemporary management practices. Ridley provides management educators with an excellent resource for teaching a critical but difficult subject at a time of pushback on diversity, equity and inclusion.” Stella Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa
