Organizations, Occupations, and Work Winner, 2021 PROSE Award in
the Business, Finance & Management Category A behind-the-scenes
examination of Asian Americans in the workplace In the classroom,
Asian Americans, often singled out as so-called "model minorities,"
are expected to be top of the class. Often they are, getting
straight As and gaining admission to elite colleges and
universities. But the corporate world is a different story. As
Margaret M. Chin reveals in this important new book, many Asian
Americans get stuck on the corporate ladder, never reaching the
top. In Stuck, Chin shows that there is a "bamboo ceiling" in the
workplace, describing a corporate world where racial and ethnic
inequalities prevent upward mobility. Drawing on interviews with
second-generation Asian Americans, she examines why they fail to
advance as fast or as high as their colleagues, showing how they
lose out on leadership positions, executive roles, and entry to the
coveted boardroom suite over the course of their careers. An unfair
lack of trust from their coworkers, absence of role models,
sponsors and mentors, and for women, sexual harassment and
prejudice especially born at the intersection of race and gender
are only a few of the factors that hold Asian American
professionals back. Ultimately, Chin sheds light on the experiences
of Asian Americans in the workplace, providing insight into and a
framework of who is and isn't granted access into the upper
echelons of American society, and why.
