Abstract
Professor Rowland explores the historical antecedents of racism in librarianship and examines their enduring influence on the profession even today. "While it is true that today we rarely observe overt discrimination in this country, covert discrimination has arisen nevertheless and is just as mean-spirited and destructive as the overt form." - E. J. Josey (1993)1 "What is diversity, anyway? ⋯ It's a way of ignoring the real issues of racism." - Jon Cawthorne (1997)2.
