Características

Little has been written on the life of African-American scholars working in traditionally black colleges and less has been written on the struggles of African-American women scholars. This work provides a lens through which we are able to get a glimpse of the struggles, divisions, conflicts,tensions, and solidarity that characterized African-American faculty attraditionally black colleges in the South.Just as macro-level history is most accessible through the close exami-nation of one persons experiences in a particular social-historical context, so too the tensions at historically black colleges, the concerns of black in-tellectual elite, and the status of structure of the black academic commu-nity during the time of the desegragation of white colleges, all come alive in Professor Morgans work.-Steven Worden, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Arkansas.This book chronicles and captures the essence of the tribulations experi-enced by Black scholars and faculty in higher education from the 1900s to the present. . . . Hundreds of Black scholars of Higher Education (in-cluding this reader) can relate to, and identify with, Professor Morgans comprehesive research and the history he has covered.-Talmadge Anderson, Professor Emeritus, Washington State University.
