It explores the ways in which the field is normatively constructed through discourse, and examines how the experiences of practitioners whose ethnicity and class differ from the 'typical' PR background, shape alternative understandings of the occupation and their place within it. The book applies theoretical perspectives ranging from Bourdieuvian and occupational sociology to postcolonial and critical race theory, to a variety of empirical data from the UK PR industry. Diversity emerges as a product of the dialectics between occupational structures, norms and practitioners' reactions to those constraints; it follows that improving diversity is best understood as an exercise in democracy, where all practitioner voices are heard, valued, and encompass the potential for change. This insightful text will be essential reading for researchers and students in Public Relations, Communications, Media Studies, Promotional Industries, as well as all scholars interested in the sociology of race and work relations"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 111-125) and index. 505 0 $a Historical context : empire, racism and public relations -- Constructing PR practice : legitimacy, jurisdiction and the erasure of social inequity -- Constructing competence : client, capital and embodiment -- Strategies of resistance : intersectional identities as a source of critique -- Successful marginality : managing occupational identity -- Occupational power, diversity and public relations. 650 0 $a Public relations $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Public relations personnel. 650 0 $a Minorities. 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS $x Public Relations. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Minorities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023088 650 7 $a Public relations personnel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082935 650 7 $a Public relations $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082917 650 7 $a OÌffentlichkeitsarbeit. $0 (DE-588)4043188-5 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Vielfalt. $0 (DE-588)4312811-7 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Minderheit. $0 (DE-588)4752223-9 $2 gnd 830 0 $a Routledge new directions in public relations and communication research. 941 $a 1 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=65F0DF4C4A8111E7A5A8299FDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IOOInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
