| Summary: | Enacted decades ago, the Civil Rights Act codified a new vision for American society by formally ending segregation and banning race and gender discrimination in the workplace. But how much change did the legislation actually produce? As employers responded to the law, did new and more subtle forms of inequality emerge in the workplace? In an analysis that combines history with a rigorous empirical analysis of newly available data, this book offers a comprehensive account of what has happened to equal opportunity in America - and what needs to be done in order to achieve a truly integrated workforce. Weaving strands of history, cognitive psychology, and demography, this book provides an exploration of the ways legislation can affect employer behavior and produce change. |
