"This book offers counternarratives from people of color engaged in varied departments, faculties, and institutions in Higher Education to interrogate and challenge the construct of whiteness as an ideological form reproduced across campuses throughout the US. Documenting individuals' lived experiences, the text uses narratives, personal stories, and autoethnographic approaches to explore how social and racial injustices manifest themselves at both a macro- and micro-level through structures and ideologies of whiteness, as well as personal and group interactions. Divided into four valuable sections, the book offers re-conceptualizations of racial diversity in Higher Education, articulates the role of academic libraries in deconstructing whiteness, and further explores identity politics within the academy to ultimately posit that a varied approach is necessary to combat the equally varied ideological forms of whiteness. This text will benefit scholars, academics, and students in the fields of higher education, multicultural education, and race and ethnicity studies more broadly. Those involved with the sociology of education, education policy and politics, and equality and human rights in general will also benefit from this volume. Teresa Y. Neely is Professor of Librarianship at the University of New Mexico, USA. Margie Montañez is the Council on Library and Information Resources and Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Data Curation for Latin American, Caribbean, and Chicano/a Studies at the University of New Mexico, USA"-- Provided by publisher.
