From the Back Cover



"Grounded in the historical context of immigration and race relations in the United States, this book provides invaluable insights into the experiences of immigrant faculty of color. A wonderful balance of personal stories, empirical studies, and critical analyses of the experiences of immigrant faculty of color, this book is a must-read for academics and institutional leadership who want to create inclusive environments for immigrant colleagues of color."
--Gudrun Nyunt, Associate Professor, Northern Illinois University
