Description: Several narratives by Latino professors in American universities addressing issues of racism, marginalization, and self-valuation as the narrators tell their stories of survival and success.
Review Quotes:
"There is virtually no other book that characterizes the tension, contradictions, and anxieties felt by Latino professors in American universities. I believe that The Leaning Ivory Tower will contribute immensely to the present struggle to create counter-hegemonic positions to the powerful reactionary forces in education that are re-shaping policy in education, such as the conservative attacks on multiculturalism and ethnic studies." -- Donaldo Macedo, University of Massachusetts, Boston
