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 9, 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: Changing Directions and New Perspectives".

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. Judith Glazer-Raymo, Ph.D.Teachers College, Columbia University. 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.
