This book engages with a collection of these experiences that span half a century and reflect differences in class, gender, and national identifications among Black scholars. By mapping Black people's experiences of studying and teaching at McGill University, this book reveals how the "whiteness" of the university both includes and exceeds the racial identities of students and professors. It highlights the specific functions of Blackness and of anti-Blackness within society in general and within the institution of higher education in particular, demonstrating how structures and practices of the university reproduce interlocking systems of oppression that uphold racial capitalism, reproduce colonial relations, and promote settler nationalism. Critically engaging the work of Black learners, academics, organizers, and activists within this dynamic political context, this book underscores the importance of Black Studies across North America."--$cProvided by publisher 606 $aCollege students, Black$zQue?bec (Province)$zMontre?al 606 $aCollege teachers, Black$zQue?bec (Province)$zMontre?al 606 $aBlack people$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$zQue?bec (Province)$zMontre?al 606 $aDiscrimination in higher education$zQue?bec (Province)$zMontre?al 606 $aEducational sociology$zQue?bec (Province)$zMontre?al 606 $aRace relations 607 $aQuebec$zMontreal$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCollege students, Black 615 0$aCollege teachers, Black 615 0$aBlack people$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aDiscrimination in higher education 615 0$aEducational sociology 615 0$aRace relations. 676 $a378.714281 700 $aHampton$b Rosalind$f1966-$01264246 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585557503321 996 $aBlack racialization and resistance at an elite university$92963770 997 $aUNINA
