Reviews

This must-read book for all, in and out of the academy, opens with the contributors' candid responses about the status of cross-race relations among women and the challenges associated with creating alliances across race. Five women of color and four white women pull readers in as they engage in conversations, inviting readers to listen to and continue the discussions across campuses. These conversations are long overdue; it is time for dialogue. Summing up: Essential - A. A. Hodge, Buffalo State College in CHOICE This book is a critical addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in the dynamics of interracial feminist alliances or the role those alliances play in creating more a more just academy. - On Campus with Women The brave contributors to this project expose what separates women of Color and White women in the academy. They take this discussion a step further, doing the heavy lifting of communicating honestly and directly with the goals of, at least, mutual understanding. Women of Color and White women are provided an opportunity and may, following the lead provided here, move from unlikely to probable allies working together to make the system inclusive. - From the foreword by Ronald B. Scott, Associate Professor of Communication and Associate Vice President for Institutional Diversity, Miami University In Unlikely Allies in the Academy, Dace and her colleagues present raw and disconcerting realities that many of us will recognize as our truth in managing relationships between women of color and white women. The authors have placed themselves in the vulnerable position of being judged for their own progress in becoming allies, making this volume full of significant lessons for us all. - Anna Ortiz, Professor of Educational Leadership, California State University, Long Beach
