Summary:
In Making a Difference, students of color relate their first-hand
experiences with educational systems and campus living conditions.
Their narratives provide an insider perspective useful to anyone
working on diversity issues who is trying to improve institutional
culture and policy. The contextualizing essays following the student
narratives are written by academics and student affairs professionals
who draw links between issues of institutional access, recruitment
and retention of students and faculty of color, curriculum changes,
teaching strategies--especially for teaching whiteness and racial
identity formation, campus climate, and the relation between an
individual institution's history of dealing with race to developments
in public policy.
