Description: This volume examines the connections between race and work, focusing how racial minorities deal with identity in the workplace; how workers of color encounter exclusion, marginalization and sidelining; and strategies minority workers use to combat and change patterns of workplace inequality.

Review Quotes: In 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 (c)2019 "(protoview.com)"
