DISMANTLING RACE IN HIGHER EDUCATION KARTONIERT...

This book reveals the roots of structural racism that limit social mobility and equality within
Britain for Black and ethnicised students and academics in its inherently white Higher
Education institutions. It brings together both established and emerging scholars in the fields
of Race and Education to explore what institutional racism in British Higher Education looks
like in colour-blind 'post-race' times  when racism is deemed to be 'off the political agenda'.
Keeping pace with our rapidly changing global universities  this edited collection asks
difficult and challenging questions  including why black academics leave the system  why the
curriculum is still white  how elite universities reproduce race privilege  and how Black 
Muslim and Gypsy traveller students are disadvantaged and excluded. The book also discusses why
British racial equality legislation has failed to address racism  and explores what the Black
student movement is doing about this. As the authors powerfully argue  it is only by
dismantling the invisible architecture of post-colonial white privilege that the 21st century
struggle for a truly decolonised academy can begin. This collection will be essential reading
for students and academics working in the fields of Education  Sociology  and Race.
