Overall, the book is impressively expansive in its discussion of theories and empirical evidence that address the macro-level structure of systemic racism, as well as the micro-level daily experiences of URM students in STEM fields, while also providing clear directions for making improvements across the spectrum. --Teachers College Record

Black, Brown, and Bruised challenges STEM educators--and not only them--to deal openly and honestly with the racism that currently dominates all too many of STEM programs. McGee's volume certainly fills a space that needed to be filled with the book's role as an internal critique of the limits and effects of these programs and as a suggestive guide to changes that would make a difference. This book has been published at exactly the right time. --Educational Policy Black, Brown, Bruised highlights the plights and detrimental stresses that minority groups have to face on a daily basis that others might not be aware of. Although McGee's case studies and stories focus on a US context, I think her insights are equally useful for people elsewhere, particularly those who might not realise what prejudices minority groups encounter everywhere. I would say that even people not working in Stem may gain a lot of insight by reading McGee's work; it definitely does bring fuel to the fire in the push for equity. --Chemistry World Overall, the book is impressively expansive in its discussion of theories and empirical evidence that address the macro-level structure of systemic racism, as well as the micro-level daily experiences of URM students in STEM fields, while also providing clear directions for making improvements across the spectrum. --Teachers College Record
