Ethnicity, Exclusion and the Workplace

More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of race and employment, this text challenges prevailing assumptions about labor market segregation and the experiences of ethnic minority workers. It applies the concept of social closure to analyze these dynamics and evaluates the effectiveness of equal opportunity and affirmative action policies. Through two case studies, the book illustrates its key themes and discusses the public redefinition of institutional racism, particularly in relation to the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, highlighting its implications for employment practices.
