Description

Presenting new empirical evidence and employing fresh theoretical perspectives, this book sheds new light on the challenges that Black students face from the time they apply to college through their lives on campus. The contributors make the case that the new generation of Black students differ in attitudes and backgrounds from earlier generations, and demonstrate the importance of understanding the diversity of Black identity. They offer new insights arid concrete recommendations for policies and practices to provide the social and academic support for African American students to persist and fully benefit from their collegiate experience. This book will be of value to student affairs personnel and facility.
