Examines the experience of Black scholarship and faculty in
predominantly White academic spaces. While research has emphasized
the importance of a diverse faculty, higher education has done
little to bring this goal to fruition. The hidden politics at play
during the traditional tenure and promotion process represent a
significant obstacle to the advancement of Black faculty. While
research productivity is the cornerstone of a successful tenure and
promotion case at most universities and colleges, Black faculty are
more likely to be tasked with extra service activities, which
constrains time for research. Many Black faculty are also
community-conscious scholars dedicated to conducting research to
help uplift their communities, which may not be seen as credible or
as valuable in the tenure and promotion process. Edited by Robert
T. Palmer, Alonzo M. Flowers III, and Sosanya Jones, Black
Scholarship in a White Academy offers important perspectives on how
Black faculty and their scholarship have been historically devalued
within the academy, particularly in predominantly White academic
spaces. Using anti-Blackness theory as a framework, contributors
discuss how White hegemony operates to undervalue and obstruct
Black scholarship and faculty. Covering such diverse topics as
navigating the tenure process, building Black spaces for inclusion,
and exploring the intersection of Blackness and disability in
higher education, this book presents ways Black faculty can
navigate and challenge systemic racism and racist toxicity within
their institutions. Contributors: Fred A. Bonner II, NiCole T.
