The central argument is that these women succeeded in and beyond college by developing a \u003ci\u003eChosen We\u003c\/i\u003e-a community with one another. The book builds on their words and insights to offer a powerful rethinking of educational success that moves away from individualistic and competitive models and instead imagines success as a result of recognizing what people owe to one another. It also uncovers the importance of the type of institutions that students attend for higher education, comparing Black women's experiences not only by region and era but also by whether they attended a predominantly White institution (PWI) or a historically Black college or university (HBCU). \u003ci\u003eThe Chosen We\u003c\/i\u003e features theoretical and methodological exemplars for how to conduct research across lines of difference. The Black women's oral histories shared here manifest the wisdom from which many groups in the United States might benefit-that liberation is only found through community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54410232103256,"sku":"9781438495422","price":90.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781438495422_e29ac62f-c7b9-4cd0-ae69-f16d28498ec2.jpg?v=1777894257","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/chosen-we","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
