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.

Experts from a range of disciplines offer practical advice for
conducting social science research in racial and ethnic minority
populations. Readers will learn how to choose appropriate methods -
longitudinal studies, national surveys, quantitative analysis,
personal interviews, and other qualitative approaches - and how
best to employ them for research on specific demographic groups.
The volume opens with a brief introduction to the difficulty of
defining a population and designing a research program, then moves
to illustrative examples drawn from the contributors' own studies
of blacks in the United States, the Caribbean, and South Africa.
Case studies cover research on the media, mental health, churches,
work, marital relationships, education, and family roles.

valuable contribution to the literature on conducting research in
Black communities. It fills a gap and provides great insights based
on actual research experience, careful conceptualization, and
documented evidence.-Diane R. Brown, University of Medicine &
