Research demonstrates that faculty of color in historically white
institutions experience higher levels of discrimination, cultural
taxation, and emotional labor than their white colleagues. Despite
efforts to recruit minority faculty, all of these factors undermine
their scholarship, pedagogy, social experiences, promotion and
retention. This edited volume builds upon the existing research on
faculty of color, however, it also departs from the existing
literature and unravels the socio-emotional experiences of being in
front of the classroom, in labs, and in the Ivory Tower for faculty
who are in multiple racialized social locations. In an effort to
circulate the experiences of faculty of color more widely to
academic and non-academic audiences, this edited volume replaces
conventional scholarly technical papers with unconventionally
accessible letters. Stories from the Front of the Room focuses on
the boundaries which faculty of color encounter in everyday
experiences on campus and presents a more complete picture of life
in the academy - one that documents how faculty of color are
tested, but also how they can not only overcome, but thrive in
their respective educational institutions.

From white-collar executives to mail carriers, public workers meet
the needs of the entire nation. Frederick W. Gooding Jr. and Eric
S. Yellin edit a collection of new research on this understudied
workforce. Part One begins in the late nineteenth- and early
twentieth century to explore how questions of race, class, and
gender shaped public workers, their workplaces, and their place in
American democracy. In Part Two, essayists examine race and gender
discrimination while revealing the subtle contemporary forms of
marginalization that keep Black men and Black and white women
underpaid and overlooked for promotion. The historic labor actions
detailed in Part Three illuminate how city employees organized not
only for better pay and working conditions but to seek recognition
from city officials, the public, and the national labor movement.
Part Four focuses on nurses and teachers to address the thorny
question of whether certain groups deserve premium pay for their
irreplaceable work and sacrifices or if serving the greater good is
a reward unto itself. Contributors: Eileen Boris, Cathleen D.
Cahill, Frederick W. Gooding Jr., William P. Jones, Francis Ryan,

The first of its kind, this book chronicles and contextualizes the
underexplored history of African American memory at TCU. It focuses
specifically upon the understudied role of Black Americans within
TCU lore from many perspectives: students, staff, faculty,
administrators, and alumni. TCU in Purple, White, and Black
explores the academic, athletic, artistic, and cultural impact of a
group of people that was not formally included in the university
for nearly the first century of its existence, and is an honest
look at the history of segregation, integration, and inclusion of
Black Americans at TCU. Anyone interested in race relations, the
function of memory, and North Texas history will find the text and
its layered analytical approach appealing.
As the largest employer of one of the world's leading economic and
geo-political superpowers, the history of the federal government's
workforce is a rich and essential tool for understanding how the
"Great Experiment" truly works. The literal face of federal policy,
federal employees enjoy a history as rich as the country itself,
while reflecting the country's evolution towards true democracy
within a public space. Nowhere is this progression towards
democracy more apparent than with its internal race relations.
While World War II was a boon to black workers, little is known
about the nuanced, ongoing struggles for dignity and respect that
black workers endured while working these "good, government jobs."
American Dream Deferred challenges postwar narratives of government
largess for African Americans by illuminating the neglected stories
of these unknown black workers.
