In addition to a brief history of migration to the United States of America and a synopsis of the historical contexts of race relations, contributors share autoethnographic narratives of resistance and hope, as well as findings from qualitative and mixed-methods studies showcasing the inner voices, resilience, determination, and courage of immigrant faculty of color. The book illuminates multiple aspects which shape the identities and experiences of immigrant faculty of color as they navigate the academy. This book is a resource for faculty, administrators, and international doctoral students of color who aspire to become faculty in higher education.
