• Blacks in Sales: Why are there So Few? (1976) · The Review of Black Political Economy · cited 1× · doi

  Preliminary evidence suggests that although the causes of underemployment of Blacks in sales are not fully understood, much of the problem may be based on a myth that could be destroyed by soundly structured and well-articulated empirical research. Sales jobs vary widely in their characteristics and requirements, making generalizations difficult.

• Cui Bono? and The Economic Function of Racism (1978) · The Review of Black Political Economy · cited 2× · doi

  The paper notes that the debate about the exploitation of black labor is problematic, whether expressed in value or exchange terms. The cheap labor argument has limitations, as it purports to explain wage discrimination but is inconsistent with the fact that blacks were employed at the periphery of the economy. The paper also notes that the location of particular beneficiary groups is needed to understand the persistence of economic racism.
