This book, first published in 1986, focuses upon the processes
whereby black workers were systematically disadvantaged in the
recruitment and selection process. Based on research into forty
organisations in the public, manufacturing and retailing sectors in
Britain, the book argues that straightforward, racist, direct
discrimination was still a major problem during the mid-1980s. In
addition the book identifies a range of more subtle processes,
involving stereotypes of acceptability and ethnic stereotypes,
informal social networks and 'word of mouth' contacts, which also
constitute a barrier for black job seekers. These processes are
documented on the basis of extensive quotations from interviews.
Using detailed case-study material from two organisations the
author draws attention to the importance of organisational politics
and their impact upon the recruitment of black workers and the
formulation and implementation of equal opportunity policies.
Finally the implications of unemployment and recession for the
prospects of black workers are discussed and the feasibility and
desirability of a range of policy options are assessed.
