Many Black, Latinx, multiracial and ethnically diverse, first-generation college students turned PhDs—tie their academic success, achievements, and ability to navigate the difficult terrain of higher education back to the critical experiences and lessons learned in their home lives and through their cultural backgrounds. For them, culture matters. This book offers an opportunity for an anti-deficit and positive examination of (Black, Latinx, and multiracial) culture and its role in creating educational efficacy among academics of color. Through personal narrative, educational and learning theory, creative writing/poetry, this hybrid text examines the cultural path to the doctorate. Transformative practice should be guided by an understanding of how an appreciation of a faculty member’s cultural, life, and social experiences can be used to establish a healthy environment that will better appreciate, engage, and retain faculty of color. Along these lines, this text also considers how cultural, life and social experiences translate into pedagogy, mentorship and value as faculty of color.

Deeply engaging and highly accessible, Culture, Community, and Educational Success: Reimagining the Invisible Knapsack is a transformative text that illuminates the complexities of race, social class, gender, family, and community as they shape learning in K-12 and higher education. Jenkins, Troutman, and Glover utilize intersectional analysis and critical pedagogies as a lens for examining structures of power and dominance. By offering readers both theoretical examinations and personal narratives, Culture, Community, and Educational Success: Reimagining the Invisible Knapsack makes an essential intervention into conversations about teaching and learning at the intersections of racialization and poverty; the authors dismantle deficit-based paradigms and assert the significance of liberatory education. Higher education researcher and professionals, K-12 education scholars and teachers, as well as administrators at all levels, will find the valuable insights offered in this book to be a vision for liberatory praxis that they too can implement.
