In Race on Campus, Julie J. Park argues that there are surprisingly
pervasive and stubborn myths about diversity on college and
university campuses, and that these myths obscure the notable
significance and admirable effects that diversity has had on campus
life. Based on her analysis of extensive research and data about
contemporary students and campuses, Park counters these myths and
explores their problematic origins. Among the major myths that she
addresses are charges of pervasive self-segregation, arguments that
affirmative action in college admissions has run its course and
become counterproductive, related arguments that Asian Americans
are poorly served by affirmative action policies, and suggestions
that programs and policies meant to promote diversity have failed
to address class-based disadvantages. In the course of responding
to these myths, Park presents a far more positive and nuanced
portrait of diversity and its place on American college campuses.
At a time when diversity has become a central theme and goal of
colleges and universities throughout the United States, Race on
Campus offers a contemporary, research-based exploration of racial
dynamics on today's college campuses.
