Drawing on an ethnographic case study of a Brazilian fashion enterprise, he reveals how young lesbian, gay, and black sales employees align themselves with the ambiguous promises of diversity management. Their affective labor, according to the study, is central to emerging and globally expanding regimes of precarity. This book offers a rich sociological perspective from the Global South, shedding light on how neoliberal self-optimization logics intersect with and propel the aspirations of marginalized groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 402g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 x 226 x 18 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783837637540\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicolas Wasser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097331724538,"sku":"9783837637540","price":37.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646125959939_book.jpg?v=1646831385","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-promise-of-diversity-how-brazilian-brand-capitalism-affects-precarious-identities-and-work-9783837637540","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
