Toxic Ivory Towers seeks to document the professional work
experiences of underrepresented minority (URM) faculty in U.S.
higher education, and simultaneously address the social and
economic inequalities in their life course trajectory. Ruth Enid
Zambrana finds that despite the changing demographics of the
nation, the percentages of Black and Hispanic faculty have
increased only slightly, while the percentages obtaining tenure and
earning promotion to full professor have remained relatively
stagnant. Toxic Ivory Towers is the first book to take a look at
the institutional factors impacting the ability of URM faculty to
be successful at their jobs, and to flourish in academia. The book
captures not only how various dimensions of identity inequality are
expressed in the academy and how these social statuses influence
the health and well-being of URM faculty, but also how
institutional policies and practices can be used to transform the
culture of an institution to increase rates of retention and
promotion so URM faculty can thrive.
