Inclusion on Purpose: An Intersectional Approach to Creating a Culture of Belonging at Work by Ruchika Tulshyan with a foreword by Ijeoma Oluo

Available March 1

Inclusion, diversity, and representation in the workplace have been hotly discussed topics over the past two years, which, to start, is long overdue. That said, it isn’t enough just to talk about these issues—they require active and persistent work to make any kind of lasting, positive change. Ruchika Tulshyan, CEO of consulting firm Candour, debunks a number of recent workplace self-help theories (like “leaning in” or establishing a “level playing field” or hiring someone because they fit within the preexisting office culture), while offering a guide to dismantling workplace bias, with a focus on the experience of women of color, who are subject to both gender and racial biases.

Flipped: How Georgia Turned Purple and Broke the Monopoly on Republican Power by Greg Bluestein

Available March 22

Ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Greg Bluestein offers the definitive account of how the runoff elections of 2020—resulting in the election of Democrats Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock to the U.S. Senate—transformed Georgia from a deep red state to the most closely watched purple battleground in the nation. While multiple voting rights protection bills hang in the balance in the wake of that election, Bluestein charts how now-President Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia will affect both Republican and Democratic strategies for years to come.
