Black women in administration with terminal degrees were also less likely to report that they were a senior-level administrator in comparison to their Black male, White female and White male counterparts with the same degree level. college and university presidents in comparison to men of color who represent 12 percent (Gagliardi et al. We know this is a problem because, in 2016, women of color represented just 5 percent of U.S. This problem is important to address because while students of color are seeking higher education at higher rates than ever before, the leadership on college campuses in the United States remains stagnant and homogeneously White. Research posits that ‘isolation, loneliness and lack of trust compound the effects of racism and sexism in academia’ and result in significant barriers to the Black woman's full participation in senior leadership (Cook, 2012). Narrating their interactions with their microaggressive White colleagues, Black women explain their reactionary principle for clapping back and the impact it can have on their mental health, self-efficacy and pursuit of leadership positions. It’s worth it.This study addresses the problem of Black women in higher ed administration at historically White institutions being subjected to racism and sexism in the workplace. I think that really aided in my enjoyment of the stories, and I would recommend this as a book to enjoy and take your time. I generally only had time to read one story at a time, the most I ever read in a sitting being two. This book was the perfect read to pick up and put down for short periods of time.
Only one of these authors (Davis) had I previously read anything by. Some of my stand-out stories from this anthology are from Elizabeth Acevedo, Justina Ireland, Patrice Caldwell, Danielle Paige, and Charlotte Nicole Davis. But with this collection, I finished having dog-eared five of my favourites. So when the stories are shorter, often I don’t get into them by the time they’re over. That’s usually what’s harder about short stories, is it generally takes some time for me to get into a story. There were many stand-out stories that were beautifully written and captured my attention from the start. Truly, there are multiple stories featuring vampires, something that I was not expecting, and they were perfect. It was wonderfully queer and fantastically paranormal. This collection is made up of different fantasy stories that centre black women and gender non-conforming people.
This is an incredibly anthology, and that’s coming from someone who generally has a harder time enjoying anthologies. Author: Anthology edited by Patrice Caldwell
