ABSTRACT
This article analyses how race has been studied in organization scholarship and demonstrates how our approaches to the study of race reflect and reify particular historical and social meanings of race. It analyzes how race has been written into the study of organizations in incomplete and inadequate ways. The chapter argues that the production to knowledge about race must be under-stood within a racial ideology embedded in a Eurocentric view of the world. It demonstrates how our approaches to the study of race reflect particular historical and social meanings of race, specifically a racial ideology embedded in a Eurocentric view of the world. Race in the United States has been a profound determinant of one's political rights, one's location in the labor market, one's access to medical care, and even one's sense of identity. The basic premises and assumptions of this paradigm are reflected in much of the research and writing in the management literature.
