Racial Battle Fatigue is described as the physical and
psychological toll taken due to constant and unceasing
discrimination, microagressions, and stereotype threat. The
literature notes that individuals who work in environments with
chronic exposure to discrimination and microaggressions are more
likely to suffer from forms of generalized anxiety manifested by
both physical and emotional syptoms. This edited volume looks at
RBF from the perspectives of graduate students, middle level
academics, and chief diversity officers at major institutions of
learning. RBF takes up William A. Smith's idea and extends it as a
means of understanding how the "academy" or higher education
operates. Through microagressions, stereotype threat, underfunding
and defunding of initiatives/offices, expansive commitments to
diversity related strategic plans with restrictive power and
action, and departmental climates of exclusivity and inequity;
diversity workers (faculty, staff, and administration of color
along with white allies in like positions) find themselves in a
badlands where identity difference is used to promote institutional
values while at the same time creating unimaginable work spaces for
these workers.
