Abstract

This aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the literature on professional identity, both collective and individual, stigma and Whiteness. To demonstrate the “White” origins of the professions it explores the development of the professions of accounting, engineering and industrial psychology in South Africa. Drawing on the work of (Al Ariss et al. in Journal of Managerial Psychology 29:362–369, 2014) it shows how their history and the social space in which it unfolded have led to the development of the professions as contexts characterised by Whiteness. Using the concepts of Bourdieu, it demonstrates how their collective professional identity is characterised by a White habitus, doxa and cultural capital. Finally, it considers the development of professional identity in a context of Whiteness, considering possible identity-work strategies available.
