Reviews

One cannot read these works without coming away with a renewed sense of appreciation, respect, and admiration of Black women's fights for education as a tool of liberation. By removing the veil that has long covered the stories, struggles and strengths of Black women, this well researched volume is a comprehensive account of the journeys of Black women and higher education in the United States. An invaluable treasure trove of information. --Tyrone Howard, Associate Dean for Equity and Inclusion and Professor of Education, UCLA Critical Perspectives on Black Women and College Success is smartly attentive to historical and contemporary contours of Black women's possibilities and perils in college spaces where they are often misunderstood, mythologized, and maligned. This timely volume serves as an exemplar of the growing scholarly tradition that focuses on participation, success, and approaches that advance the unique and at times universal experiences of Black undergraduate women. --James Earl Davis, Bernard C. Watson Endowed Chair in Urban Education and Professor of Higher Education and Educational Leadership, Temple University
