'This is a welcome addition to the literature on minority ethnic groups in Britain and the labour market. John Carter has had a long interest in this area and this is reflected in the scope of the book...essential for those who are looking at minority ethnic groups' progress and blockages in professional occupations.' - Sage Race Relations Abstracts '...this book is an excellent addition to the research on hiring discrimination and its consequences for an ever-growing global economy'. - Cameron Lippard, Contemporary Sociology
