Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

xiv, 397, [3] pages. Princeton University Press Release laid in. Includes Illustrations. List of Figures and Tables, Preface, Notes, Index. "Review Copy not for Resale" stamped on bottom edge. John Skrentny received his Ph.D. in sociology from Harvard University. His primary areas of research and teaching interest are law, politics, and public policy, especially as the relate to equal opportunities, immigration, the science and engineering workforce, and job creation. After spending many years studying law and policy related to equal opportunity, his research and writing interests have expanded to include science and innovation policy - especially as these relate to STEM workforce development, the immigration of scientists and engineers, and their relationship to regional economic growth. The author shows that racial bias remains pervasive at the bottom of the occupational pyramid, even as it has moderated at the top. He makes innovative and provocative suggestions for reform that offer a ray of hope. What role should racial difference play in the American workplace? As a nation, we rely on civil rights law to address this question, and the monumental Civil Rights Act of 1964 seemingly answered it: race must not be a factor in workplace decisions. In After Civil Rights, John Skrentny contends that after decades of mass immigration, many employers, Democratic and Republican political leaders, and advocates have adopted a new strategy to manage race and work. Race is now relevant not only in negative cases of discrimination, but in more positive ways as well. In today's workplace, employers routinely practice "racial realism," where they view race as real-as a job qualification. Many believe employee racial differences, and sometimes immigrant status, correspond to unique abilities or evoke desirable reactions from clients or citizens. They also see racial diversity as a way to increase workplace dynamism. The problem is that when employers see race as useful for organizational effectiveness, they are often in violation of civil rights law. After Civil Rights examines this emerging strategy in a wide range of employment situations, including the low-skilled sector, professional and white-collar jobs, and entertainment and media. In this important book, Skrentny urges us to acknowledge the racial realism already occurring, and lays out a series of reforms that, if enacted, would bring the law and lived experience more in line, yet still remain respectful of the need to protect the civil rights of all workers.
