In these distinct environments, people of color experience an unequal distribution of emotional labor as a result of negotiating both everyday racial micro-aggressions and dismissive dominant ideologies that deny the relevance of race and racism. Based on in-depth qualitative data combined from two individual studies, we illustrate the processes by which white institutional spaces create a complex environment where people of color must navigate racial narratives, ideologies, and discourses, while simultaneously attempting to achieve institutional success to reap the material rewards of these elite institutional settings. This article explores the connections between white institutional spaces, emotional labor, and resistance by illuminating the shared experiences of people of color in elite law schools and the commercial aviation industry. ![]() ![]() OL15676343W Page_number_confidence 94.48 Pages 346 Partner Innodata Pdf_module_version 0.0.17 Ppi 360 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20211213122506 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 402 Scandate 20211207013433 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 9780061659256 Tts_version 4. ![]() ![]() Kirkus found it hard work, 'for fans only'.
