“Inspired by bell hooks’ engaged and transgressive pedagogical discourses, this compelling, informative, ‘disruptive’ anthology captures the powerful reflections of feminist/womanist women of color as they interrogate toxic practices of the white academy in the South. The essays, which cover a rich variety of topics, are candid, brilliant, sobering, informative and inspirational. A must read for strategies to transform higher education during challenging times.”--Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Spelman College
