Book Description
Even though diversity is currently conveyed as a ubiquitous principle within institutions of higher education, professionals of color still face issues such as discrimination, the glass ceiling, lack of mentoring, and limited access to career networks. Unfortunately, an open channel does not exist for professionals of color to express their frustrations and genuine concerns. The narratives in No Ways Tired present a powerful voice about the experiences of student affairs professionals of color in higher education, including intersecting identities such as race, class, and gender. Furthermore, the narratives are nuggets of personal truth that can serve as a lens for professionals of color who wish to develop strategies to succeed as they traverse their careers in higher education. Through the sharing of their visions of success, lessons learned, and cautionary tales, the authors openly offer insights about how they have created a way to survive and thrive within higher education in spite of challenges and distractions. They also articulate a vision where student affairs professionals of color can develop fully, be authentic, use their agency, and effectively contribute. This book includes recommendations for professionals of color at all levels within higher education and ways to construct opportunities to flourish. The ultimate goal for this book is to promote discussions regarding how professionals of color can be more proactive in developing strategies that are conducive to their professional and personal success as they navigate their higher education careers.

In No Ways Tired: The NAACP's Struggle to Integrate the Duval County Public School System
Author: Abel A. Bartley
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781886104785
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Abel Bartley's new book "In No Ways Tired" is both the unique story of a particular Florida community's struggle with the integration of public schools, and a reflection of similar experiences throughout the South where integration "with all deliberate speed" took decades to achieve. In this case study of a presumed "New South" metropolis, Professor Bartley adds a significant contribution to the growing body of scholarship debunking the long-held notion that Florida has been an historical exception to the rabid racism of the Deep South. As this work demonstrates, in unison with other recent pioneering works, the Sunshine State has not earned its popular reputation for being a "moderate" entity of Dixie on race relations, particularly in regard to its troubling and sometimes bloody odyssey of public school desegregation. This book should be in the library of anyone interested in African American history, the Civil Rights era, or the development of our public education system.

Purveyors of Change
Author: Judy A. Alston
Publisher: IAP
ISBN: 1648022308
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Effective leadership is the necessary ingredient in achieving educational improvement in schools; everything rises and falls on leadership. For School Leaders of Color, this leadership imperative is more difficult than it is for their White counterparts. Concomitantly with this leadership necessity are the social and academic disparities of racism, student poverty, lack of resources, just to name a few. Yet these leaders have courageously accepted their role to disrupt low performance and thus they have created environments where students learn and professors teach. These leaders are “purveyors of change.” The purpose of this educational preparation supplemental text is to share stories of these exceptional leaders in the field and in the academy. The experiences shared by the various authors cover four important areas in leadership: Culture & Climate; Student Success; Resilience, Persistence, & Turnaround; and Social Justice. The authors have shared some deeply personal issues and triumphs. These are the stories that resonate more deeply with students and that with these types of stories, the theory to practice bridge is successfully crossed. While many of the chapters include narratives of resilience and triumph in the context of the P-12 education system, the overarching themes and suggestions can be transmuted to any industry.

Mama Day
Author: Gloria Naylor
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504043154
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
A “wonderful novel” steeped in the folklore of the South from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Women of Brewster Place (The Washington Post Book World). On an island off the coast of Georgia, there’s a place where superstition is more potent than any trappings of the modern world. In Willow Springs, the formidable Mama Day uses her powers to heal. But her great niece, Cocoa, can’t wait to get away. In New York City, Cocoa meets George. They fall in love and marry quickly. But when she finally brings him home to Willow Springs, the island’s darker forces come into play. As their connection is challenged, Cocoa and George must rely on Mama Day’s mysticism. Told from multiple perspectives, Mama Day is equal parts star-crossed love story, generational saga, and exploration of the supernatural. Hailed as Gloria Naylor’s “richest and most complex” novel, it is the kind of book that stays with you long after the final page (Providence Journal).
