What happens to black health care professionals in the new economy,
where work is insecure and organizational resources are scarce? In
Flatlining, Adia Harvey Wingfield exposes how hospitals, clinics,
and other institutions participate in "racial outsourcing," relying
heavily on black doctors, nurses, technicians, and physician
assistants to do "equity work"-extra labor that makes organizations
and their services more accessible to communities of color.
Wingfield argues that as these organizations become more profit
driven, they come to depend on black health care professionals to
perform equity work to serve increasingly diverse constituencies.
Yet black workers often do this labor without recognition,
compensation, or support. Operating at the intersection of work,
race, gender, and class, Wingfield makes plain the challenges that
black employees must overcome and reveals the complicated issues of
inequality in today's workplaces and communities.
