Black Men Speaking. – book reviews
Reading Black Men Speaking is not unlike the dichotomous soul-troubling and spirit-affirming experience of attending all-day Sunday or Wednesday night church services. The book is a gripping litany of sermon, scripture reading and spirituality. It is strident and unembarrassed by its message, urgent in its delivery, somewhat daunting in the tenets it proposes, and clear in its mission.

The shelter of tenure is eroding and for faculty of color gaining membership may be tougher than ever – African American teachers – includes related articles on several cases regarding tenure
Hazing is the dark side of campus life. Desperate to be accepted into an exclusive club, bright young people will tolerate long periods of psychological abuse, often being forced to perform onerous tasks which established members consider below their dignity.

The tenure labyrinth – teachers in Afro-American studies
My first academic job interview resulted in a job offer. My doctorate is in American Studies, but the job offer was in Afro-American Studies. Because I am actually interested in Afro-American Studies, this was not a great hardship for me. However, a light did go on in my head. I remembered hearing – more than once – that for Black scholars, all roads tend to lead to Black Studies.

Working Capitol Hill: presidents of historically Black institutions spend week in Washington, where HUD grants $6.5 million to seventeen HBCUs – historically Black colleges and universities; Dept of Housing and Urban Development

Does education rationing have racial undertones?
For much of this summer, I have clipped a series of articles that raise questions about access to higher education. Though the articles have taken different approaches, they end up asking a similar set of questions – who should go to college and how should it be financed?

The Cattle Killing. – book reviews
Because The Cattle Killing, John Edgar Wideman’s first work of fiction in six years, is about loss – loss of life, loss of faith, loss of hope, innocence and direction – it seems only fitting that this review should begin like the book, with a metaphorical slaughtering.
