Women of Color in Higher Education

"Women of Color tell their courageous stories about navigating what historically has been a male-dominated academy. They bring with them cultural strengths and experiences interwoven with mainstream credentials with which to create changed environments in academe that more adequately reflect the diversity of the 21st century world. Henrietta Mann, Ph.D., Founding President, Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribal College. Professor Emeritus in Native American Studies, Montana State University" "Women of Color in Higher Education, in two volumes, provides a comprehensive and rich analysis of the progress and problems associated with participation of women in colleges and universities. With topics ranging from women in collegiate athletics to STEM, from African American, Latina to Asian and Native American women, from new leaders in colleges and universities to seasoned professionals, these volumes are just as critical for administrators and faculty as they are for women who aspire to a successful career in higher education.
