After Civil Rights

In After Civil Rights, author John D. Skrentny explores the evolving dynamics of racial difference in the American workplace. Published by Princeton University Press in 2015, this thought-provoking book spans 416 pages and delves into the implications of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which established that race should not influence workplace decisions. However, Skrentny argues that the landscape has shifted dramatically due to decades of mass immigration, prompting a reevaluation of how race and ethnicity are perceived in professional environments. This insightful examination challenges conventional wisdom and encourages readers to reconsider the role of diversity in fostering a fair and inclusive workplace. Whether you're a student of sociology, a business professional, or simply interested in civil rights, After Civil Rights offers a compelling narrative that is essential for understanding contemporary issues surrounding race in America.
