The book counteracts color-blind myths by situating persistent work-related race inequities in structures as well as interactions, invisible as well as visible racist practices. Loscocco invites readers to the discussion by skilfully creating a narrative based in logic and evidence. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in how and why race inequality persists.”\u003cb\u003e Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Duke University and 2018 President of the American Sociological Association\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“Loscocco brings much-needed attention to the complex relationship between race and work.

The chapters document the U.S.’s multicultural labor history, discuss how labor markets and jobs became segregated, and analyze key racial-ethnic patterns in work opportunities. The book also addresses common misconceptions about why women and men from some racial-ethnic groups end up with better jobs than others.
