Randy Hodson was one of contemporary sociology's central figures in
the study of work, occupations, and inequality. This volume pays
tribute to his important scholarly contributions. Chapters by other
important scholars in these fields reflect and build on his
research in work conditions, worker resistance, and social
stratification.
Thousands of individuals are discriminated against each year due to
their race or sex, even 40 years after the Civil Rights Act. The
Face of Discrimination documents the forms, character, and
implications of race and sex discrimination at work and in housing,
drawing from archived discrimination suits themselves. Going beyond
traditional social science research on the topic, this book grounds
the reader in the reality of discrimination as it is played out in
the actual jobs, neighborhoods, and lives of real people. The
systematic approach taken by Roscigno and his team of
collaborators, in concert with the qualitative material used
throughout, sheds significant light on an important, and
contributes specifically to the understanding of employer biases,
sexual harassment, structural inequalities in where workers are
placed occupationally, why housing segregation persists, and how
discrimination in housing and work take a toll on individuals in
their daily lives.
