Reviews
The seven essays broaden the discussion of the civil rights movement to include academic spaces as places of struggle.
--The Courier: Tennessee Historical Commission
" A compelling read and much needed addition to the literature on the Civil Rights movement"
--Book News Inc.
"This fine collection of essays has several strengths. The essays go beyond the familiar to examine less-well-known cases; they do not stop at admission, but follow individuals to graduation and beyond; and they offer multiple perspectives."
--Choice
"The seven essays, introduction, and afterward firmly place the desegregation of southern colleges and universities within the context of the broader civil rights movement. Readers will also appreciate how black undergraduate and graduate students continue to challenge white supremacy by working for inclusive curricula, services, and programming at major educational institutions in the South."
