Black Matters presents an anthology of stories of African American
and African undergraduate and graduate students' experiences at
college, offering lifespan perspectives on their formative
relationships and influences, life-changing events, and the role
their heritage has played in shaping their personal identities,
values, and choices. Andrew Garrod and Robert Kilkenny bring
together contributors who share personal memoirs reflecting on
their experience of navigating life on campus as students of
Dartmouth College, New Hampshire. The ten brave authors, six Black
men and four Black women, present thoughtful, often emotional,
accounts of moments that transformed their academic, professional,
and racial identities. Supplemented by follow-up accounts of four
of the graduates, the text underlines developmental perspectives
whilst examining what has remained the same about their lives and
values, and what has changed over time. The collection explores the
notion of hard work and "grit" in overcoming discrimination,
racism, and adversity, and how in reality college students who are
not part of the racial/cultural majority must contend with the
normative identity challenges of late adolescence while carrying
the extra burden of "two-ness". Featuring an introduction by Chante
Mouton Kinyon, this anthology examines crucial topics including
classroom experience; intellectual stimulation and learning
environment; interactions with African American and African
students; friendships that crossed the lines of race, ethnicity,
class, gender, and sexual orientation, and how collegiate life
affects issues related to personal and racial identities. The rich
narratives in Black Matters provide vital insight into the
relationship between collegiate experiences and racial identities.
It will be essential reading for students and scholars of
psychology, education, cultural anthropology, sociology and
creative writing, as well as for those responsible for campus
climate and student experience.
