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 description. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 African Americans|xEconomic conditions.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001945 650 0 Social capital (Sociology)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh00009986 650 0 Social justice.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123969 650 7 African Americans|xEconomic conditions.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799599 650 7 Social capital (Sociology)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1122281 650 7 Social justice.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1122603 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aParks-Yancy, Rochelle.|tEqual work, unequal careers.|dBoulder, Colo. : FirstForumPress, 2010 |z9781935049234|w(DLC) 2010007949|w(OCoLC)505423774 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=552028|zOnline eBook.
