Squires C (2017) Publishing's Diversity Deficit. CAMEo Cuts, 2, pp. 1-12. https://le.ac.uk/cameo/publications/cameo-cuts
Abstract
The second CAMEo Cuts examines questions around diversity within the UK’s publishing industry. With a specific focus on BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) participation as publishers, authors, readers, or featuring within books, Claire Squires comments on how UK publishing presents a ‘diversity deficit’. This diversity deficit, despite a raft of diversity initiatives, suggests systemic and institutionalised practices of implicit and explicit discrimination within the literary economy.
