A Guide for Faculty of Color . While the editor explicitly states that this book is for faculty of color, its value is much broader.
Authors share both personal narratives and practical advice.
Their narratives may be intended to help new and prospective faculty members of color, but they also provide a snapshot of higher education that is useful for all those interested in the future of the academy. These themes are presented in most chapters with an emphasis on knowledge being the key to success. Know the landscape. Other chapters discuss such issues as office politics, establishing support networks, and how one negotiates the tenure and promotion process. All these topics address the importance of being keenly aware of the environment before making decisions, and staying aware once decisions are made.
