Critical Race Theory and Inequality in the Labour Market: Racial Stratification in Ireland is a timely exploration of racial stratification and how it shapes starting positions and generates differential outcomes in the labor market. From the outset, Joseph makes it clear that we should not be interested in race per se, but rather in how race is used and the consequences that this has. She is appealing for social change and posits the importance of Critical Race Theory (CRT), in particular, in achieving it. An authoritative overview of the tenets of CRT is provided, outlining the relevance of “counterstorytelling” (individuals relating their experiences as members of marginalized groups), the permanence of race, interest convergence, and intersectionality. Joseph keeps the discussion real, for example, in engaging with the under-reporting of racism to consider the uniqueness of using CRT as an analytical tool for understanding the contexts in which racism arises. In the opening chapters, she begins to build a rich outcomes-focused narrative urging wider adoption of a CRT of the labor market that enables researchers, policy makers and educators to focus on how we respond to difference to foster racial equality and socio-economic justice.

批判种族理论与劳动力市场中的不平等：爱尔兰的种族分层

批判种族理论与劳动力市场中的不平等：爱尔兰的种族分层是对种族分层及其在劳动力市场中如何形成起始职位和产生不同结果的及时探索。从一开始，约瑟夫就明确表示，我们不应该对种族本身感兴趣，而应该对种族的使用方式及其后果产生兴趣。她呼吁社会变革，并特别提出了关键种族理论（CRT）的重要性。提供了有关CRT宗旨的权威概述，概述了“反诉”（与边缘化群体成员的经历相关的个人），种族的持久性，利益趋同和交叉性的相关性。约瑟夫保持讨论的真实性，例如，参与种族主义报道不足的问题，以考虑使用CRT作为分析工具来理解种族主义产生背景的独特性。在开头的章节中，她开始构建以结果为中心的丰富叙述，敦促更广泛地采用劳动力市场的CRT，使研究人员，政策制定者和教育工作者能够专注于我们如何应对差异以促进种族平等和社会经济正义。
