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.

The expansion of the Black American middle class and the
unprecedented increase in the number of Black immigrants since the
1960s have transformed the cultural landscape of New York. In The
New Noir, Orly Clerge explores the richly complex worlds of an
extraordinary generation of Black middle class adults who have
migrated from different corners of the African diaspora to
suburbia. The Black middle class today consists of diverse groups
whose ongoing cultural, political, and material ties to the
American South and Global South shape their cultural interactions
at work, in their suburban neighborhoods, and at their kitchen
tables. Clerge compellingly analyzes the making of a new
multinational Black middle class and how they create a spectrum of
Black identities that help them carve out places of their own in a
changing 21st-century global city. Paying particular attention to
the largest Black ethnic groups in the country, Black Americans,
Jamaicans, and Haitians, Clerge's ethnography draws on over 80
interviews with residents to examine the overlooked places where
New York's middle class resides in Queens and Long Island. This
book reveals that region and nationality shape how the Black middle
class negotiates the everyday politics of race and class.
