Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Face of Discrimination documents the extent, character, and implications of race and sex discrimination at work and in housing, drawing from a rich body archived discrimination suits themselves. It moves beyond traditional social science research on the topic and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
grounds the reader in the reality of discrimination as it is played out in the actual jobs, neighborhoods, and lives of real people. |
