Overview

The invisible men of sociologist Adia Harvey Wingfield s urgent and timely No More Invisible Man are African American professionals who fall between extremely high status, high-profile black men and the urban underclass. Her compelling interview study considers middle-class, professional black men and the challenges, obstacles, and opportunities they encounter in white male dominated occupations. No More Invisible Man chronicles these men s experiences as a tokenized minority in the workplace to show how issues of power and inequality exist especially as they relate to promotion, mobility, and developing occupational networks. Wingfield s intersectional analysis deftly charts the ways that gender, race, and class collectively shape black professional men s work experiences. In its examination of men s interactions with women and other men, as well as men s performances of masculinity and their emotional demeanors in these jobs, No More Invisible Man extends our understanding of racial- and gender-based dynamics in professional work.
