Product Review
[Hammond's] research will help readers realize that a more diverse profession is in both their ethical and their economic interests, resulting--we can hope--in a happier tale about the twenty-first century. (Robert K. Elliott, past chairman of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants)
A thoroughly engaging and well-researched chronicling of the African American experience in one of the nation's most important and prominent professions. Hammond has broken new ground in the study of race and business. (David A. Thomas, author of Breaking Through: The Making of Minority Executives in Corporate America)
Not only a brilliant and poignant history of one significant profession; it speaks volumes about the greater struggle African Americans have waged since the early 1900s to secure their place in the American mainstream. (Lee A. Daniels, editor of The State of Black America)
Product Description
Hammond explores the history of African American exclusion from the field of certified public accountancy and tells the stories of the pioneering black CPAs who successfully negotiated the many barriers to entering what is today the least diverse of the major professions.
Reader Reviews
Hammond chronicles the stories of the remarkable individuals who blazed the trail for African-Americans in the accounting profession. Or I should say, began blazing the trail, because as Hammond points out it is still by far the most segregated profession. When most people hear "accounting" they think of something very dry and technical. But this book is far from that. You learn about the profession and how institutional racism operates, but always as a context for the amazing stories, struggles, and personalities that Hammond conveys. She obviously spent many hours interviewing these pioneers and she tells their stories with academic rigor, but also with compassion, respect, and a sense of humor.
