This book documents the academic and social success of Black women
undergraduates as they negotiate dominant educational and social
discourses about their schooling lives. Starting with the premise
that Black women undergraduates are not a homogenous group and that
they are being successful in college in greater numbers than Black
men, this book examines the ways they navigate being traditionally
underprepared academically for college, the discourse of Ğacting
white, and oppressive classroom settings and practices. This work
expands the theoretical concept of cultural capital by identifying
the abundant and varied forms of cultural capital that Black women
undergraduates provide, develop, and utilize as they make their way
through college. The discussion of their raced, classed, and
gendered experiences challenges the academy to make use of this
understanding in its work towards educational equity. This movement
has wide-reaching implications for ethos, policy, and practice in
higher education.
