"This volume would be a valuable read for students pursuing degrees in education or public policy, their respective faculty, and college counselors serving diverse campuses." — CHOICE"There is no more important topic in higher education than racism. Any book such as this one should not merely educate the reader about the challenges that are at hand. It should also stimulate action so that readers get involved in—to use the language of the late John Lewis—'good trouble.' The status quo cannot remain. If we take to heart what's written here, we have a guide for how to create good trouble in higher education." — William G. Tierney, author of Get Real: 49 Challenges Confronting Higher Education"The Racial Crisis in American Higher Education has earned its lauded place among significant educational publications. Each edition has consistently provided rich case studies and rigorous analyses of current and emerging issues of race and racism impacting American higher education. Timely and instructive, the newest volume continues this pattern." — William T. Trent, coeditor of Condition or Process? Researching Race in Education"If you want to know the best current thinking about race and racism in higher education—as a university administrator, professor, student, or concerned citizen—this is a book you must read." — James Joseph Scheurich, coeditor of Handbook of Research on Educational Leadership for Equity and Diversity
