OverviewWhiteness is the foundation of racism and racial violence within higher education institutions. It is deeply embedded in the ideologies and organizational structures of colleges and universities that guide practices, policies, and research. The purpose of this book is not to simply uncover these practices but, rather, to intentionally center the harm that Whiteness causes to communities of Color broadly in order to transform these practices. For example, Cabrera explores what academic freedom and tenure could look like if they actually divorced themselves from Whiteness. Readers will dive into these and other pressing issues guided by both critical social analysis as well as hope for the possibilities of human liberation from oppression. This is important reading for university and college professors, scholars, diversity officers, student affairs professionals, and everyone looking for ways to center the needs of historically marginalized students. Book Features: Extends the work of Beverly Daniel Tatum classic text, Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? Explores what truly embedding anti-racism and decolonial praxis into higher education institutions could look like. Uses critical race theory to analyze the cause of racism and the effect Whiteness has on people of Color. Offers a critical but concurrently hopeful view that anti-racist futures are both possible and necessary. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Nolan L. Cabrera , James A.
