Reviews

Lee and LaDousa's important and well-edited volume brings to light the experiences of students who embody 'diversity' through insightful and nuanced qualitative accounts. Each account provides a unique window into students' highly varied experiences at college and the complex interplay of forces that shape relations of power and emergent forms of marginality on college campuses. The compelling stories brought together in this volume vividly illustrate the deeply contextual nature of how 'diversity' is produced, negotiated, and experienced in institutions of higher education in America. The volume should be required reading for higher education administrators and faculty, and will be a valuable resource for all who seek to understand and truly confront the forms of power and marginalization that underlie the deployment of diversity policies in higher education today. --Kathleen D. Hall, Associate Professor of Education and Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania College Students' Experiences of Power and Marginality takes a long overdue look at the full diversity of students who occupy today's college campuses. This rich compilation by leading scholars of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and higher education gives readers insight into how students understand and manage their positions in complex status hierarchies-as well as the costs of pervasive inequalities. --Laura Hamilton, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of California-Merced
