This edited volume documents the unique experiences of women of
color in higher education administration. From full professors,
senior administrators, deans, presidents, and chancellors, women of
color share their social justice journeys to leadership roles in
the academy. With a focus on women of color presidents, a rich
landscape is painted through their own voices of their experiences
as they ascend and lead higher education institutions, navigating
complex dynamics influenced by their race, culture, class, and
gender status. The narratives of African American, Native American,
Asian American, Mexican American, and Puerto Rican women leaders
reflect the importance of their cultural heritage; the role of
family values; the necessity of professional mentorship and
support; the presence of personal resiliency; and the need to lift
others while climbing and thriving. This book affirms the social
justice imperative of diversifying the academy to include the
scholarship, voices, perspectives, viewpoints, and leadership of
women of color. Through this work, we clearly see that women of
color can climb to the highest rung; can penetrate the abode
ceiling, the bamboo ceiling, and the plantation roofs; can sit in
the president's chair; and can thrive as leaders in the academy.
This volume can be used in higher education, gender and women's
studies, leadership, and sociology courses on education and
identity.
