Written in a clear and jargon-free style, this work explores an agency that is important to everyone, but has probably not been thought about beyond one's occasional journey to a post office to retrieve or send material. The interview data add important depth and richness to the work, and it should draw the attention of scholars of race, work and occupations, and gender. The ultimate power of this book rests in not simply pointing out that racism and sexism are alive in the postal service, but in stating what it means for these conditions to exist particularly in that service.--Alford A. Young Jr.
