In the Shadowland of Organisations

Lace M. Jackson ()

Chapter Chapter 3 in Global Majority Leadership, 2024, pp 33-47 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter's title reflects the inextricable link to the legendary genre of horror and the survival of transatlantic slavery concerning the African diaspora and the tri-partied legacy of a colonial constraint within the UK. Much like the brass and iron shackled enslaved Africans in the dark underbelly of those behemoth slave ships, the shadowlands are used as a metaphor to convey the organisational places where similar leadership abuses of power occur. Power in organisations is explored through tenets of CRT, as Global Majority leaders can find themselves chained in a vulnerable position through structural inequalities and racial exclusion to serve the reproductive needs of those at the top of the taken-for-granted racial and social hierarchy.
