Historically, women of color have experienced discrimination based
on the double jeopardy of race and/or ethnicity, and gender in
their quest for access and advancement in higher education. Today's
women of color in higher education however are the beneficiaries of
courageous and committed women predecessors who confronted and
disrupted institutions to attain a higher level of education
(Jean-Marie, 2005). Together with Volume 9, this two-edited volume
focuses on African American, Hispanic American, Native American,
and Asian-Pacific American women whose increased presence in senior
level administrative and academic positions in higher education is
transforming the political climate to be more inclusive of women of
color. Topics include trends and issues, leadership
styles/characteristics, tenure and promotion, mentoring/social
networks, and challenges and opportunities. As a conceptual
framework, the collection of chapters in the two volumes acquaints
readers with a broad overview of the characteristics and
experiences of women of color in higher education. The two volumes
include: "Women of Color in Higher Education: Turbulent Past,
Promising Future" and "Women of Color in Higher Education: Changing
Directions and New Perspectives".
