Challenging Racism in Higher Education provides conceptual frames for understanding the historic and current state of intergroup relations and institutionalized racial (and other forms of) discrimination in the U.S. society and in our colleges and universities. Subtle and overt forms of privilege and discrimination on the basis of race, gender, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, religion and physical ability are present on almost all campuses, and they seriously damage the potential for all students to learn well and for all faculty and administrators to teach and lead well. This book adopts an organizational level of analysis of these issues, integrating both micro and macro perspectives on organizational functioning and change. It concretizes these issues by presenting the voices and experiences of college students, faculty and administrators, and linking this material to research literature via interpretive analyses of peoples experiences. Many examples of concrete and innovative programs are provided in the text that have been undertaken to challenge, ameliorate or reform such discrimination and approach more multicultural and equitable higher educational systems. This book is both analytic and practical in nature, and readers can use the conceptual frames, reports of informants actual experiences, and examples of change efforts, to guide assessment and action programs on their own campuses.

Acknowledgments

We acknowledge the assistance of many people in the preparation of this work. Undergraduate and graduate students who provided essential documentary and library research include Sarah Bowman, Shirley Greene, Judith Harris, Michelle Hughes, Lisa Landresman, Ellen Meader, Christine Navia, Luis Ponjuan, Rachel Ross, Inna Schulz, Erica Soloway, and Mary Wright. On numerous occasions these student-colleagues shared their own wisdom and thoughts in ways that extended our own thinking and writing.

Several colleagues in the academy read portions of this work and provided critical feedback and commentary that stretched our own thinking and undoubtedly improved the final product. Many have themselves been pioneering analysts and advocates of multicultural change in higher education organizations: Jessica Charbenneau, Patricia Gurin, Mark Kaplan, Jerome Rabow, David Schoem, Alford Young Jr., and Ximena Zuniga.

Assistance in editing and word processing has helped iron out much of the jargon and tortuous phrasing so common in works of this sort: Steven Gray, Barbara Lewis, and Patricia Preston. The editorial staff at Rowman & Littlefield has made the process of producing this work much easier, and we salute their foresight in making this investment. And Community Resources Ltd. has provided essential financial resources along the way.

Finally, we acknowledge several colleagues whose long-term comradeship and leadership on these issues have provided us with inspiration and support in this volume and in other aspects of our work: Bunyan Bryant, Harley Flack, Tyrone Forman, Bailey Jackson, and Maria Ramos.

About the Authors

Mark Chesler is Professor Emeritus of sociology at the University of Michigan and executive director of Community Resources, Ltd., Ann Arbor, Michigan. His work on this volume is the outgrowth of several decades of research and action in the field of intergroup relations, racism, multiple forms of discrimination, and organizational/community change. He has been a central agent in University of Michigan programs in community service learning, intergroup dialogues, and faculty development.

Amanda Lewis is assistant professor of sociology and African-American Studies and a Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The junior member of this team, she began working on this volume while finishing her Ph.D. in sociology at the University of Michigan. This project builds on much of her previous work, which has focused on ways of studying how race shapes daily life in K-12 education, and on the contours and manifestations of whiteness and racism.

James Crowfoot is Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources and Urban and Regional Planning and Dean Emeritus of the School of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan. Formerly he was director of the Pew Scholars Program on Conservation and the Environment. He also is the former president of Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio. His contributions to this book continue his long-time work on organizational change in higher education and on advocacy for socioenvironmental change, including preservation of the natural environment and the pursuit of social and economic justice to overcome racism and other forms of oppression.
