Black Space

Negotiating Race, Diversity, and Belonging in the Ivory Tower

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Protests against systemic racism have swept across elite colleges and universities, raising questions about what it means for Black students to belong on these campuses. Sherry L. Deckman takes us into the lives of students in the Kuumba Singers, a Black student organization with racially diverse members and a self-proclaimed safe space for anyone but particularly Black students, as a case study in exploring race, diversity, and safe space.
