This ground-breaking collection features the diverse voices,
experiences, and scholarship of cross-cultural women of American
Indian, Asian American, Black/African American and Hispanic descent
at various levels of academe, actively engaged in the advancement
of marginalized groups in the U.S. and abroad through their
scholarly work. Intergenerational cross-cultural scholars manifest
a literary community that models ways in which women scholars can
move beyond traditional institutional, psychological, and
professional barriers to practice activism, break unwritten rules,
and shatter status quo 'business as usual' practices in the
academy. This distinctive volume exemplifies the phenomenon of
cross-cultural women scholars conducting research and writing about
ways in which they negotiate their professional realities toward
professional goal attainment. Each chapter presents rigorous
ethnographic research complemented by critical analyses, reflecting
ways in which these self-determined scholars transcend barriers
associated with the dynamic intersections of race, gender,
ethnicity, class and language in higher education. Scholars share
strategies for institutional, psychological, and professional
barrier transcendence through various approaches such as
educational leadership for equity, the practice of cross-cultural
competence, various mentoring interactions, and the creation of and
participation in networking groups with other women of color in
academe. Students, academics, educational practitioners and
individuals seeking exemplars for ethnographic research will find
this critical book essential as a means for better informing their
scholarship.
