Relazione
"Black Women Speaking From Within: Essays and Experiences in Higher Education extends Black women's contemporary resurgence in the political mainstream into the academy. This groundswell of voices advocating for visibility, representation, and power validates the unsung experiences of generations of Black female academicians who have challenged the lack of inclusiveness, and it deftly demystifies higher education for the next generation of professional women in the academy." -Susan Marcia Monroe, Associate Professor of English and First Year Studies, Housatonic Community College
