Synopses & Reviews
This text explores the impact of race and racism in different occupational spheres within the labor market. It reexamines a number of central assumptions about segregation within the labor market and applies the concept of social closure to the analysis of the position of ethnic minority workers within the labor market. Key themes in the book include the effectiveness of equal opportunity and affirmative action policies and the extent to which employment practice has been significantly altered.
