Winner of the 2014 Richard A. Lester Award for the Outstanding Book in Industrial Relations and Labor Economics, Industrial Relations Section of Princeton University After Civil Rights makes a compelling case for the pervasiveness of race-conscious employment practices. --Glenn Altschuler, Florida Courier John Skrentny, Professor of Sociology and Co-Director of the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at UC-San Diego, gives readers a well-researched, thoroughly documented and provocative work, presenting his theory for how employers view race in the workplace in the USA... Skrentny's chapter on racial realism, and its corollary, immigrant realism, in the low-wage workplace, is one I wish I had written... His account of how the law works in practice and on the ground is a great read for those interested in legal studies, history, political science, sociology or civil rights. --Leticia Saucedo, LSE Review of Books If you want to explore deeper social policy, it is worth a read. --Barry H. Dyller, Trial With the book's over 1,300 notes, scores of case law findings, and dozens of studies on race and labor market outcomes, it is impossible not to be impressed by Skrentny's erudition, research prowess, and deft ability to link multiple academic disciplines under one driving question... If you are a race, labor, immigration, or legal scholar you should absolutely read this book. You will never think about Title VII or the intersection of race and employment decisions in the same way again. --Charles A. Gallagher, American Journal of Sociology

After Civil Rights makes a compelling case for the pervasiveness of race-conscious employment practices. --Glenn Altschuler, Florida Courier
