商品描述

This book discusses a new theoretical understanding of gender-based discrimination. It introduces the concept of quietism- a form of discrimination that occurs in the workplace using gendered norms and values. Drawing on a sample of twenty-five Black disabled women in England with the genetically inherited condition of sickle cell, it uses a materialist feminist disability studies perspective and critical race theory to explore identity-based discrimination in work environments. Comprehensive yet accessible, this short volume explains how intersectionalities of identities become implicated in discriminations in: pregnancy, maternity and caring penalties; visible racisms; gendered access to the labour market and workplace norms; and even in the invisible anticipatory actions to be able to stay well and in employment.

The authors explore how voices of resistance to workplace discrimination are silenced through gendered attitudes, institutionally or within office cultures, such as bullying, racism, ignoring of complaints, using sexism and lookism to reduce women to their bodies, emotional manipulation, and the stereotyping of women. The final chapter problematises legal remedies for victims of quietism and guides the reader through new forms of legal protection that should be implemented, making this an invaluable read for academics and students in gender studies, disability studies, business and management, and race studies, as well as legal and HR professionals.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書探討了性別歧視的新理論理解。它引入了「靜默主義」的概念——一種在工作場所中利用性別規範和價值觀發生的歧視形式。該書以英國二十五位患有遺傳性鎌狀細胞病的黑人殘疾女性為樣本，運用物質主義女性主義殘疾研究的視角和批判性種族理論，探討工作環境中的身份基礎歧視。這本短小卻全面的著作解釋了身份的交叉性如何在以下方面與歧視相關：懷孕、母職和照顧的懲罰；明顯的種族主義；性別化的勞動市場和工作場所規範的進入；甚至在為了保持健康和就業而進行的無形預期行動中。

作者探討了對工作場所歧視的抵抗聲音如何因性別態度而被壓制，這些態度可能是制度性的或存在於辦公文化中，例如霸凌、種族主義、忽視投訴、利用性別歧視和外貌歧視將女性簡化為其身體、情感操控以及對女性的刻板印象。最後一章對靜默主義受害者的法律救濟進行了問題化，並引導讀者了解應該實施的新型法律保護，使這本書成為性別研究、殘疾研究、商業與管理、種族研究以及法律和人力資源專業人士的學者和學生的寶貴讀物。
