About this product
Product Information
The United States military is often presented as a model of equal-opportunity employment. In this work, the author examines and challenges this assertion with respect to the Navy. Dunklin studies Navy claims of meritocracy and training processes, profiles the careers of eight senior enlisted African American servicemen, and examines barriers to African American inclusion. First-hand accounts and interviews provide insight into the coping mechanisms and struggles of African Americans in the Navy. The author concludes by offering suggestions to improve the Navy equal opportunity environment.

Seller waited a full week before shipping so took two weeks to arrive. The book was new and shipped in a non-padded bag. I could have saved a buck and ordered on Amazon and probably received it in a day or two. Regrets….
