5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Social Work Educators, April 5, 2008
By

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Women of Color as Social Work Educators: Strengths and Survival (Paperback)
The scholar-teachers who provide their personal narratives in this collection describe their struggles to overcome against obstacles in society and in the bureaucracy that is higher education. Issues such as racism and sexism are addressed in ways that are usually not discussed, for example, racism as evidenced in student evaluations and sexism evidenced in addressing female faculty who have Ph.D.'s as Miss and Mrs. These stories are both dark and uplifting, showing remarking resilience in showing how women who believe in themselves and in the importance of sharing their insights with students can get beyond the European American standards to enrich higher education and their communities with their contributions.
