Black women comprise 1% of the Silicon Valley workforce. Between 2015 and 2018, several major technology firms made "diversity pledges" yet these diversity initiatives have failed to produce any significant increases in the number of Black women in the technology industry. This article draws upon a qualitative study of 68 male and female technology workers employed in the San Francisco Bay area. This qualitative study contributes to gender studies, racial studies, organization studies and network theory by providing an empirical case study of Black female technology workers in Silicon Valley. It finds that although Black women bring a diverse range of social and educational resources to the interview table in this industry, the use of social referrals by technology firms operates against the stated goals of diversity initiatives, and that the social referrals reproduce, rather than subvert the racial and gender disparities that characterize the San Francisco industry.

This article analyzes the limitations of qualitative research methods that over-privilege textual analysis in North American sociology graduate programs. I argue that visual literacy, as a methodological tool, is neglected and marginalized in the graduate curriculum. Training in visual culture including the use of photography, film and video, can contribute to theoretically grounded empirical research on race and racism. A form of academic apartheid continues to restrict the types of qualitative research methods that are authorized and regularly taught in graduate programs in sociology.

The claim that Afro-Brazilians are victims of a racist democracy in Brazil is investigated. Analysis of interview data from 150 Afro- & Euro-Brazilians of Vasalia reveals that most individuals linked social segregation with sexual equality, a condition noted to be similar in the US. Moreover, it is demonstrated that opposition to interracial dating & marriage, though not legally prohibited, operates as a signifier of racism in Vasalia. Although demographic analysis reveals that Afro-Brazilians are significantly underrepresented in Brazilian universities, most respondents concluded that racial inequality was not prevalent in the educational system since Afro-Brazilians were not legally excluded from postsecondary institutions. Further, an examination of popular culture TV images shows that Afro-Brazilians are often infantilized or animalized; there are few positive representations. Despite claims that Vasalia remains a racial meritocracy, it is concluded that racism is pervasive in several social, economic, & institutional practices. 11 References. J. W. Parker

In this chapter, we bring queer theory into dialogue with critical race studies. We ask "How does the literature in queer kinship engage with the issues of race and intersecting inequalities?'' This chapter builds upon the foundational literature in queer family studies. It departs from the foundational literature in the anthropology of reproduction by placing the role that racial hierarchies and racial logics play at the center of analysis. We refer to family forms that do not conform to heteronormative, monoracial models. This chapter also advances debates in anthropology that illuminate the social, cultural, and political imperatives that confer respectability and legitimacy to transgressive family forms. Given the changing legal and global landscape, we offer a nuanced analysis of the ways that queer families employ racial and cultural logics as they engage with technologies in their pathways to parenthood. Finally, our analysis innovates and renovates queer family studies by proving an analysis of the ways that heteronormativity and Whiteness mark all logics of reproduction in the early twenty-first century.
