Dr. Frank L. Douglas is well known and respected on the world’s stage. You will recall his gripping autobiography entitled ‘Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Steam’, where he chronicled a literary in-depth composition of his amazing life. We here at Cambridge Academy Alumni Association International (CAAAI), all know Dr. Douglas and hold him in the highest regard. He has been a recipient of our prestigious Robert A. Pinkerton Award, a keynote speaker at our major biennial alumni event, a philanthropist, a friend and mentor to many, and a dedicated member of the associations Advisory Board.
Dr. Douglas has once again added to the body of academic contributors, but this time with an acclaimed difference. His recent manuscript entitled ‘Addressing Systemic Discrimination By Reframing The Problem’ is a book that stands firmly against those unwelcomed vicissitudes that continue to perpetuate the traditional dogmas and behaviors within our society and workplaces; racism, inequity, and exclusion. In a number of Case Studies, this work goes beyond the exposure of systemic discriminatory practices, and poses the question to its readers – “Is there another way to reevaluate the problem, and control the outcome?”
Dr. Douglas has shifted the paradigm about workplace interactive behaviors, individualism and group positions, organizational culture, and changing conflict outcomes. Each case in the book is guided by his experience and ‘how to’ knowledge. ‘Addressing Systemic Discrimination By Reframing The Problem’, places you in the center of a situation similar to your own experience previously, currently, or one that you will inevitably encounter at some time. The Cambridge Academy Alumni Association International (CAAAI) endorses this reader-friendly, and utterly pragmatic book about a new way to look at and navigate through real life situations we face each and everyday.
‘Addressing Systemic Discrimination By Reframing The Problem’ is currently available on amazon.com for only $13.99. Please buy this dynamic book written by a great Guyanese.
