For a set of Black women workers in the manufacturing context, the court found that they were not discriminated against on the basis of their race, because Black male workers were hired for manufacturing positions. Those Black women were not discriminated against because of their gender, because there were White women hired for the front office. Those Black women workers were caught at the intersections of race and gender discrimination laws and left their employment without an effective remedy (Crenshaw, 1989). This intersection metaphor is worth examining in the higher education context as we consider that the majority of students on most U.S. campuses are women (Allen, Dean, & Bracken, 2008), and an increasing number of these women are not White; yet, most campuses have support services targeted at African American and/ or multicultural student affairs and womens services which are generally targeted at White women. This volume will focus on the subpopulation of Black female college students, examining institutional and non-institutional supports for their persistence to the undergraduate degree. 410 0$aDiversity in higher education ;$vv. 8. 606 $aEducation$xMulticultural Education$2bisacsh 606 $aEducation$xStudents & Student Life$2bisacsh 606 $aEducation: care & counselling of students$2bicssc 606 $aAfrican American women$xEducation (Higher) 615 7$aEducation$xMulticultural Education. 615 7$aEducation$xStudents & Student Life. 615 7$aEducation: care & counselling of students. 615 0$aAfrican American women$xEducation (Higher) 676 $a378.1/9822 701 $aChambers$b Crystal Renée$0857359 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789431203321 996 $aSupport systems and services for diverse populations$93807338 997 $aUNINA
