African American Males in Higher Education Leadership: Challenges
and Opportunities presents narratives from thirteen African
American males working in higher education leadership. Their
narratives describe the barriers and roadblocks that continue to
impede them while climbing the ivory tower ladder to leadership.
This book highlights a number of topics relevant to the experiences
of Black males on what it means to hold a leadership position at a
historically black college and at a predominately white
institution. This is an opportunity to hear the voices of African
American males and to look at leadership through their lens. What
have been some of the challenges and opportunities they have faced
during their journey in higher education? What specific strategies
helped them cope with barriers impeding their climb to a leadership
position in higher education? What specific programs make a
difference for emerging Black male leaders? Did they have a mentor
or did they feel isolated during their journey? How are they
feeling now? What tips can be passed down to our next generation of
Black leaders? These narratives provide inspiration for all African
American men aspiring to advance their careers in higher education.
Hopefully, African American males will find these narratives useful
as they prepare to enter the landscape of higher education
leadership and avoid some of the pitfalls discussed in the book.
