Drawing on extensive research in South Carolina manufacturing facilities, nearly 300 interviews, and her own experience working at both the \"bottom\" of the labor market (e.g., cleaning toilets and on assembly-line jobs) and in mid-level supervisory positions, Lez-Sanders provides a behind-the-scenes accounting of daily factory life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe uncovers preferential hiring practices that fly in the face of civil rights legislation barring employment discrimination, including orchestrated actions of employers to systematically replace Black workers with Hispanic unauthorized immigrants. Lez-Sanders argues against the predominant view that worker displacement occurs primarily because of hiring biases or social networks. Instead, she shows that employers intervene strategically, relying on subcontractors, agencies, and intermediaries to shift the race and gender in an organization. They also use vulnerable and tractable immigrant labor to impose and justify untenable standards that drive native-born workers out of their jobs and create vacancies to be filled by additional immigrant workers. \u003ci\u003eThe Manufacturing of Job Displacement\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new light on a classic question about ethnic succession and segmentation in the labor market and reorients the ongoing debates about the economic impact of immigration.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 05, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45582217445478,"sku":"9781479822997","price":60.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/5Gw5OzdSm69781479822997.webp?v=1777704631","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-manufacturing-of-job-displacement-how-racial-capitalism-drives-immigrant-and-gender-inequality-in-the-labor-market-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
