Fully revised, updated edition of the classic text with all new essays assessing the state of race and racial issues in US higher education today.
A crisis of immense magnitude persists in higher education in the United States. For this third edition of The Racial Crisis in American Higher Education, Kofi Lomotey and William A. Smith have gathered outstanding scholars in the field to address this dilemma on several levels. In thirteen original essays, contributors establish a framework for understanding the current crisis, provide historical perspective on the present, offer a stark overview of the day-to-day realities on campuses, and illustrate the role and impact of university leadership. With a foreword by Donald B. Pope-Davis and an afterword by Valerie Kinloch, as well as an introduction by the editors, the volume is provocative, up-to-date, and solution-driven, giving readers both a comprehensive analysis of the racial crisis in American higher education and ideas for addressing it.
Kofi Lomotey is Chancellor John Bardo and Deborah Bardo Distinguished Professor of Educational Leadership at Western Carolina University. His many books include Justice for Black Students: Black Principals Matter and Handbook of Urban Education, Second Edition (coedited with H. Richard Milner IV). William A. Smith is Full Professor of Education, Culture, and Society and Full Professor in the Ethnic Studies Program at the University of Utah. He also serves as Chief Executive Administrator for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at the Huntsman Mental Health Institute at the University of Utah.
