520    Why do some people get ahead in the workplace, while 
       others, equally qualified, fall behind? Rochelle Parks-
       Yancy uses the experience of African American workers 
       across the US to reveal how the forces of inequality and 
       social capital shape long-term occupational success. Parks
       -Yancy's mixed-methods approach probes the ways that 
       people find jobs, lose jobs, and get promoted, 
       illuminating the subtle nexus of race, social networks, 
       and societal barriers that can make or break a career 
       trajectory. Demonstrating how disadvantages can accumulate
       over time, she goes beyond affirmative action to outline 
       how individual workers can seize the initiative in 
       remedying labor market inequalities. -- Publisher
