For some in our society, diversity is a threat. Others feel society
should be more inclusive, if only out of fairness. But as Johnnetta
Cole argues in her new book, embracing diversity and inclusiveness
is more than a virtuous ideal; it is essential to a healthy,
productive society. Focusing on higher education and other arenas
of cultural development, Cole explores our institutions'
vulnerability to the influence of racism and the wider implications
for American society. At the core of Cole's argument is the belief
that increasing the representation of historically marginalized
groups on college campuses, and in museums, media, and other
institutions is, like the liberal arts, vitally important to social
progress. Accompanying Cole's urgent calls to implement social
change are vividly rendered experiences from her own remarkable
life. Cole issues a challenge for courageous conversations about
race and racism and places unique responsibility and accountability
on institutions of higher education in leading these conversations.
