Beskrivning
Racial Battle Fatigue is described as the physical and psychological toll taken due to constant and unceasing discrimination, microagressions, and stereotype threat. The literature notes that individuals who work in environments with chronic exposure to discrimination and microaggressions are more likely to suffer from forms of generalized anxiety manifested by both physical and emotional syptoms. This edited volume looks at RBF from the perspectives of graduate students, middle level academics, and chief diversity officers at major institutions of learning.RBF takes up William A. Smith’s idea and extends it as a means of understanding how the “academy” or higher education operates. Through microagressions, stereotype threat, underfunding and defunding of initiatives/offices, expansive commitments to diversity related strategic plans with restrictive power and action, and departmental climates of exclusivity and inequity; diversity workers (faculty, staff, and administration of color along with white allies in like positions) find themselves in a badlands where identity difference is used to promote institutional values while at the same time creating unimaginable work spaces for these workers.

Recensioner i media

Post-Racial…Bah humbug! … Exponentially! There are many scholarly attributes to Racial Battle Fatiguein Higher Education. “Illuminating, grounded and instructive” are a few congratulatory words that can be offered about this volume on the myth of post-racial America. I like Racial Battle Fatigue because it is practical and now. Practical in that knowledge and understanding about race and its intersecting companions gender and class that are on the loose in our global neoliberal society because of nuanced “dyconsciousness” and “blindspots”. Now because it addresses how and where the evils of racism (sexism and classism) currently exist in the academy, thereby continuing a legacy of personal and institutional hurt fortoward people of color and people who are othered.
