“Blacks on the Bubble”
Diversity in the Post Affirmative Action Labor Market
This article explores how concepts of diversity fit into the problem of racial progress and workplace inequality. Diversity can be viewed functionally as part of an ongoing effort in Corporate America to resolve conflict and reduce racial inequality in job allocation. On the other hand, consistent with new institutional theory, diversity can be viewed as a rubric for a set of activities meant to signal corporate 'good will'. In this case, the rol…

"La ségrégation par la fonction, paradoxe de l'"Affirmative action
Critiquée dès ses premiers pas, car perçue comme un obstacle à l'efficacité économique, l'Affirmative action n'a été suivie avec assiduité que dans les années soixante-dix, et surtout dans les sociétés en contrat avec le gouvernement fédéral. Elle fut néanmoins un moteur indéniable d'ascension sociale pour les Afro-Américains, jusqu'au début des années quatre-vingt. Ce faisant, une nouvelle forme de ségrégation dans le travail s'est développée au…
Black Families in Corporate America
Black corporate executives
Black Mobility in White Corporations
More than 30 years of social and political pressure to diversify corporate personnel and management teams has resulted in more black managers but neglible gain for African American men in powerful decision-making jobs in corporate America. Against this backdrop, this paper asks if constraints on blacks' corporate progress are manufactured in the work process. Using in-depth career interviews with 76 black executives, I argue that the ability to a…
Blacks on the Bubble
Stark contrasts between the black middle class and ghetto poor have raised important questions among scholars about what influences the status of African-Americans. Scholars ask whether a new system of stratification is evolving in labor market to respond more to class, that is, socioeconomic status and attainment than to racial factors. While most studies use aggregate data, this article uses in-depth interviews. Also, while most studies concent…
Black Women in the Workplace
The Marginalization of Black Executives
Employment barriers appear to have lifted to allow greater numbers of educated blacks to move into high-paying professional and managerial occupations. But are the numerical gains by blacks really indicative of equal participation in the labor market? To address this question, I analyze interviews on the careers of 76 of the top-ranking black executives employed in Chicago white-owned corporations. My findings indicate that blacks have succeeded …
The Making of the Black Middle Class
Race no longer appears to be a barrier to the quest of some U.S. blacks for middle-class position. However, is black middle-class advancement as stable as it appears? This paper looks at several factors creating job opportunities for blacks since 1960. I find that black mobility does not reflect a decrease in racial discrimination. On the contrary, black progress in the 1960s and 1970s marks the onset of a new system of segregation. Racial discri…
