Women of Color in Higher Education

The studies contained in this two-volume compendium illuminate our understanding of the experiences of African-American, Latina, Native American, and Asian-Pacific women and the strategies being employed to restructure academic environments in the 21st century. It is a comprehensive and stirring account of the progress and the challenges facing women of color faculty and administrators, extending the dialogue to include the multiple voices of women scholars in their efforts to fulfill the mission of diversity in American higher education.

Professor of Education Emerita at Long Island University This work is much needed and is a welcome addition to conversations about the lives and work of women of color in higher education. The narratives of women of color presented in this two volume work are sure to advance our thinking about the challenges and promises of being a woman of color in higher education and society.
