Reviews
In Our Own Voices, Redux features fearless, heroic contributors share their diverse journeys through powerful voices and thoughtful reflection. Shame on us if in the next twenty years there is not a more positive narrative. Required reading for all, but especially library leaders. -- Irene M. H. Herold, author and editor of Creating Leaders: An Examination of Academic and Research Library Leadership Institutes, past ACRL President (2016-2017), and librarian of the College, The College of Wooster. An honest, and courageous collection of writing illustrating the significant accomplishments by People of Color in librarianship in the face of structural racism and oppression. The everyday experiences chronicled are a clear indication that despite diversity initiatives and programs, our profession need to better support marginalized workers. What you'll read here are stories most of us can identify with. It is refreshing to see People of Color taking up space in this field, speaking our universal truth to power. Writing our canon. -- Jennifer A. Ferretti, digital initiatives librarian, Maryland Institute College of Art Neely and Lopez-McKnight re-route the historical narrative of our profession, making it broader, deeper, and inclusive. Racism abounds in our profession. Microagressions can not be denied. Put down the diversity plan, listen to these voices, and take note of the moments described with an open access heart and mind. Our colleagues, with their commitment, passion and skill - survive and thrive, in spite of. Their presence is critical to the vitality and relevancy of librarianship and information management. Up from the mineshaft of authenticity, in their own voices! We must listen, learn, dismantle, and recreate! -- Sandra Rios Balderrama, former director, Office for Diversity, American Library Association and National President, REFORMA
