Description:
With the increasing focus on the critical importance of mentoring in advancing Black women students from graduation to careers in academia, this book identifies and considers the peer mentoring contexts and conditions that support Black women student success in higher education.
Review Quotes:
"What we see in this book is a nuanced and transparent window into understanding how powerful and successful black women mentor each other in an organizational and cultural landscape that was neither built for their access nor success... Undoubtedly this book should speak to many stakeholders in higher education-current and prospective graduate students, tenure-track faculty, senior level administrators, philanthropists, and legislators.
