{"product_id":"race-identity-and-work-9781787695023","title":"Race, Identity and Work","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume examines the connections between race and work, focusing on three key themes.  First, contributors consider how racial minorities deal with questions of identity in the workplace. This is especially important as ideas about professionalism often hinge on implicitly racialized criteria, to an extent that racial identity may pose a challenge to meeting occupational requirements. Secondly, contributors address ways racial exclusion occurs in jobs in the new economy: while organizations can no longer legally segregate or discriminate on the basis of race, exclusion processes still occur in the contemporary workplace. Finally, this volume considers the strategies that minority workers use to combat and change patterns of workplace inequality. In the new economy, where workers arguably have limited power relative to organizations, the techniques of the past may not be as effective. \u003cbr\u003e  Providing valuable insight on a growing segment of the labor force, this book considers the US's rapidly changing racial demographics and how this phenomenon fundamentally alters many aspects of work, providing an in-depth understanding of how race affects work for people of color across occupations, workplaces, and industries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn light of the vaunted triumph of the \"white working class\" in the 2016 election, sociologists examine links between race, identity, and work in the US. In sections on identity and identity work, racial exclusion at work, and challenging racial exclusion, they consider such aspects as sustaining enchantment: how cultural workers manage precariousness and routine, the downward slide of working-class African American men, organizational context and well-being of black workers: whether racial composition affects psychological distress, occupational composition and racial\/ethnic inequality in varying work hours during The Great Recession, and framing the professional pose: how collegiate black men view the performance of professional behaviors. -- Annotation ©2019 * (protoview.com) *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction; \u003ci\u003eEthel L.
