Challenging Racism in Higher Education

This book analyzes the historic and current state of institutionalized racial privileges and discrimination in higher education, using an organizational framework. It then provides and critiques examples of innovative efforts that seek to challenge and alter these socially unjust patterns of teaching, learning, leading, and living together.

James Crowfoot is professor and dean emeritus of natural resources and environment at University of Michigan. Amanda Lewis is associate professor of African American studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
