The author provides a sociological analysis of the ways in which white corporations-subtly and not so subtly-demean and contain Black Women. Her analysis on In/Group, Out/Group behavior, rites of passage, containment, tokenism-just to name a few mechanisms of employee control-will open your eyes to the way in which corporate behavior effects individual behavior.
Black women will come to understand exactly why and how they feel so excluded. And all of us will come to understand how discrimination becomes part of an organization's structure. This is an important, ground-breaking work.
