This article provides information on the book "Latinas and African American Women at Work: Race, Gender, and Economic Inequality," edited by Irene Browne.

Papers discuss the economic progress of African American women, the erosion of the relative earnings of African American women during the 1980's, the economic progress of Mexican and Puerto Rican women, gender, race, ethnicity, and wages, occupational segregation by race and ethnicity among women workers, generational paths into and out of work among Puerto Rican women in New York, Mexican-origin women in southwestern labor markets, racial differences in the work route to getting off welfare, stereotypes and realities about black women in the labor market. It also deals with perceptions of workplace discrimination among black and white, professional-managerial women ensuring the engagement of black women in the new labor market driven by science and technology, race, ethnicity, and gender in labor market research and Latinas and African American women in the labor market.
