abstract: 'The economic marginalization of African American men has been studied in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a variety of contexts, from trade union exclusion, to joblessness, to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disparate wages and mobility. Discrimination is often inferred as an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
influential mechanism, yet seldom directly examined in its own right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drawing on a unique sample of verified workplace discrimination cases,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this article analyzes forms and processes of discrimination that African
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
American men face in employment. Our results denote the prevalence of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discriminatory firing, with on-going racial harassment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discriminatory promotional and hiring practices also quite evident.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In-depth immersion into case materials highlights the centrality of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
racial stereotyping and significant discretion on the part of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gatekeepers within organizational environments-discretion in the use of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``soft skills{''''} criteria to exclude and debilitate mobility, and in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
selective (or even targeted) use of seemingly neutral organizational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies and sanctions. Moreover, harassment on the job-something that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conventional workplace inequality research has overlooked-is quite
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
problematic and well-represented in these data. We conclude by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discussing the implications of our results for the conceptualization of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality reproduction and that pertaining to race, status, and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workplace in particular.'
