摘要

This article analyzes 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 is argued that the production of knowledge about race must be understood within a racial ideology embedded in a Eurocentric view of the world. Finally, a re-vision of the very concept of race and its historical and political meaning is suggested for rewriting race as a necessary and productive analytical category for theorizing about organizations.
