Synopsis

Cultural marginalization – which is defined in this volume as the exclusion of individuals, organizations, or communities based on their unique shared values, beliefs, attitudes, and practices, which diverge from the prevailing norms of the dominant culture – is not only widespread but also occurs globally. The purpose of this book is to conceptualize cultural marginalization by considering its inherent complexity and to show why it matters, particularly from a human standpoint. Grounded in this human ethos, the volume builds a theoretical foundation for scholarly debate in management and organizational studies on how the marginalized can engage in the processes of cultural survival and autonomy and how we can pave the way toward societies and organizations where we can pursue hope.

Representing a collaborative endeavor, Cultural Marginalization in Communities and Organizations: Seeds for Peace, includes contributions from diverse and vibrant contexts worldwide to gain a deeper understanding of the intricacy of cultural marginalization and how actors such as individuals, organizations, and communities navigate and overcome these challenges to cultivate ways of being that promote peace across cultural divides.
