“a welcome addition...valuable insights...a must-read”—International Journal of Multicultural Education; “Mentoring Faculty of Color is a must read for junior faculty and aspiring tenure track faculty of color. In 14 essays a diverse range of scholars talk about their individual stories as they pertain to the promotion and tenure process (P&T). They also discuss a wide range of strategies on how junior faculty of color could successfully navigate and survive in the academy while maintaining their cultural identities.”—Herbert G. Ruffin II.
