1. After Civil Rights
Racial Realism in the New American Workplace
This book examines how workplace practices, corporate structures, and policy changes since the civil rights era have produced new forms of racial inequality rather than eliminating them. Drawing on empirical case studies of employers and institutions, it argues that legal reforms, market pressures, and managerial strategies—such as color‑blind doctrine, diversity rhetoric, and segmented labor practices—have reshaped but perpetuated racial stratification, and it calls for pragmatic, institutionally grounded approaches to reducing inequality.
