Black Women in Management highlights the trials, tribulations and
achievements of professional and managerial black African women who
now form part of the ever increasing number of women in paid
employment worldwide. Focusing on the career and family lives of
professional and managerial black African women originating from
Sub-Saharan Africa and on the lives of black African women living
and working within the corporate private sector in Johannesburg and
London, this book explores how such women, with relatively similar
colonial histories, cultures, career and professional backgrounds,
handle their complex social positioning.As black African women with
careers in major cities on opposite sides of the globe, the
professional and managerial women, or transnational and emerging
black elite women in the book are unique both in the workplace and
in their communities. Although the women are part of the majority
population in South Africa, they remain minorities within the
professional and managerial circles of South Africa's corporate
private sector. This is despite a strong sense amongst some South
Africans that of all historically disadvantaged South Africans,
black African women have benefited the most from employment
equality polices. In the UK, black Africans form part of the
growing black and minority ethnic (BME) groups in the country.
However, while black African women form part of this growing black
African community in the country, they remain minorities within the
UK population, but also remain minorities in their role as
professional and managerial women within the corporate private
sector. This is in spite of black Africans having fairly high rates
of higher education amongst the country's BME population. Black
Women in Management identifies some of the differences and/or
similarities that exist between these women's career choices and
progression and explores how they address socio-cultural and
gendered expectations of domestic, social and caring commitments as
career women living and working in two urban cities - one African,
the other European.
