This book gives voice to the experiences of women of color - women
of African, Native American, Latina, East Indian, Korean and
Japanese descent - as students in pursuing terminal degrees and as
faculty members navigating the Academy, grappling with the dilemmas
encountered by others and themselves as they exist at the
intersections of their work and identities. Women of color are
frequently relegated - on account both of race and womanhood - into
monolithic categories that perpetuate oppression, subdue and
suppress conflict, and silence voices. This book uses critical race
feminism (CRF) to place women of color in the center, rather than
the margins, of the discussion, theorizing, research and praxis of
their lives as they co-exist in the dominant culture. The first
part of the book addresses the issues faced on the way to achieving
a terminal degree: the struggles encountered and the lessons
learned along the way. Part Two, 'Pride and Prejudice: Finding Your
Place After the Degree' describes the complexity of lives of women
with multiple identities as scholars with family, friends, and
lives at home and at work. The book concludes with the voices of
senior faculty sharing their journeys and their paths to growth as
scholars and individuals. This book is for all women of color
growing up in the academy, learning to stand on their own, taking
first steps, mastering the language, walking, running, falling and
getting up to run again - and illuminates the process of
self-definition that is essential to their growth as scholars and
individuals.

This edited volume is a collection of empirical scholarship that
focuses on curriculum as knowledge connected to the Latinx diaspora
from three perspectives: content/subject matter; goals, objectives,
and purposes; and experiences. In an effort to fill a void in
scholarship in curriculum studies/theory for/from Latinx
perspectives, this book is a beginning toward answering two
important questions: first, what is the significance of the
presence and absence of Latinx curriculum theorizing? And second,
in what ways is Latinx curriculum theorizing connected to
curriculum, as a general concept, schools’ purposes, goals, and
objectives and curriculum as autobiographical? This book opens a
door into understanding curriculum for/from an important population
in U.S. society.

States of Grace: Counterstories of a Black Woman in the Academy
recognizes, acknowledges, and centers race and gender through the
embodiment of Black womanhood in the academy in the context of
grace. Encapsulated in concepts of grace, this book reveals the
dynamic, multidimensional presence of a scholar who brings her
wholeness into her scholarship and teaching, providing insights and
guidance along the way.
Race, Gender, and Curriculum Theorizing: Working in Womanish Ways
recognizes and represents the significance of Black feminist and
womanist theorizing within curriculum theorizing. In this
collection, a vibrant group of women of color who do curriculum
work reflect on a Black feminist/womanist scholar, text, and/or
concept, speaking to how it has both influenced and enriched their
work as scholar-activists. Black feminist and womanist theorizing
plays a dynamic role in the development of women of color in
academia, and gets folded into our thinking and doing as
scholar-activists who teach, write, profess, express, organize,
engage community, educate, do curriculum theory, heal, and love in
the struggle for a more just world.
