Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Review of the Literature -- Chapter 3: The Research Process -- Chapter 4: Macro-Context: Professional Identity and the Public Space -- Chapter 5: Meso-Context: Professional Identity and the Professional Space -- Chapter 6: Micro Context: Professional Identity and the Personal Space -- Chapter 7: Whiteness, Stigma and Professional Identity -- Chapter 8: Implications for Professional Organisations.

"This monograph offers insights into the way in which whiteness shapes the complex layers of privilege and disadvantage at work and, in particular, proffers perspectives on unconscious engagement with privilege and race narratives, as well as the unseen structuration of inequities in South African organisational work lives. Dr Crafford successfully draws insights from evidence-based sociological and psychological narratives in locating professional identity in public spaces, professional spaces and personal spaces. An important read, albeit through a particular lens, if we wish to better our understanding of enduring economic and social power, and for us to identify the 'spaces' and 'places' which need deconstructed action if true transformation is to be achieved. ---Kurt April, Allan Gray Chair, University of Cape Town, South Africa Drawing on theories of whiteness, stigma, identity formation and identity work, this monograph aims to explore the ways in which racial categories continue to structure the lives of professionals of colour in South Africa. Using a Bourdieusian lens, it draws on personal narratives of professionals in the fields of accounting, engineering and industrial psychology, examining how stigma and whiteness continue to constrain their identity development in the public, professional and personal spaces they inhabit. Examining the unique post-Apartheid situation of South Africa, this book will be valuable reading to scholars interested in the intersection of race, professions and organisation. Anne Crafford is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Human Resource Management, University of Pretoria, South Africa. Her research interests include various facets of identity at work, including work identity, organisational identity and professional identity, and more recently whiteness and stigma.
