Beskrivning
Historically, women of color have experienced discrimination based on the double jeopardy of race and/or ethnicity, and gender in their quest for access and advancement in higher education. Today's women of color in higher education however are the beneficiaries of courageous and committed women predecessors who confronted and disrupted institutions to attain a higher level of education (Jean-Marie, 2005). Together with Volume 10, this two-edited volume focuses on African American, Hispanic American, Native American, and Asian-Pacific American women whose increased presence in senior level administrative and academic positions in higher education is transforming the political climate to be more inclusive of women of color. Topics include trends and issues, leadership styles/characteristics, tenure and promotion, mentoring/social networks, and challenges and opportunities. As a conceptual framework, the collection of chapters in the two volumes acquaints readers with a broad overview of the characteristics and experiences of women of color in higher education. The two volumes include: "Women of Color in Higher Education: Turbulent Past, Promising Future" and "Women of Color in Higher Education: Contemporary Perspectives and Changing Directions".

"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. Anne S. Pruitt-Logan, Ed.D., Professor Emerita, The Ohio State University"
