The study is based on empirical data from African American women of various disciplines in faculty and administrative positions at traditionally white colleges and universities. It focuses primarily on narratives of the women in terms of how they are affected by racism, as well as sexism as they perform their duties in their academic environments. The findings suggest that a common thread exists relative to the experiences of the women. The book challenges and dispels the myth that Black progress has led to equality for African American women in the academy. The results of this study make it even more critical that the voices of African American women be heard and their experiences in the academy be expressed. This may be one way to inform academic and lay readers that racism and sexism are not dead. 606 $aAfrican American women college teachers 606 $aDiscrimination in higher education 615 0$aAfrican American women college teachers. 615 0$aDiscrimination in higher education. 676 $a378.1/2/08996073 700 $aMyers$b Lena Wright$01811688 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953452203321 996 $aA broken silence$94363703 997 $aUNINA
