Richard L. Zweigenhaft on The New CEOs

Rahsaan Mahadeo on June 26, 2012

This episode we speak with Richard L. Zweigenhaft about his research, with G. William Domhoff, on diversity in the power elite and their new book, The New CEOs: Women, African American, Latino, and Asian American Leaders of Fortune 500 Companies. While Fortune 500 CEOs are still predominantly white males, a growing number of women and people of color have become CEOs in the past two decades. What has caused this increased diversity and what impact has it had? What does this tell us about gender, race, ethnicity, and class in American politics? Listen in to find out.

The White Paper Zweigenhaft and his frequent collaborator G. William Domhoff have written for TSP, "Diversity and the New CEOs," is coming tomorrow, and it's incredibly interesting! It'll be available at 8am on July 5th (CST) at http://www.thesocietypages.org/papers/new-ceos
