Recenzje

"Race and Rurality: Considerations for Advancing Higher Education Equity is a perfectly timed book highlighting areas of need in our rural communities. Seeking to significantly change the narrative of monolithic rural communities and spotlight the unique opportunities and challenges of rural students of Color, this book is an essential read for policymakers and leaders of higher education institutions."

Allen Pratt, Executive Director of the National Rural Education Association, USA

"This book is a breath of fresh air for practitioners and researchers who are interested in the sustainability of rural communities. Although this book is about rural students’ college access and success, the long-term outcomes of rural students are paramount to rural communities’ ability to thrive. Debunking the myth that rural equals white, the authors center the voices of rural Students of Color and the opportunities and challenges they face in receiving equitable educational opportunity."

Sheneka Williams, Professor of Educational Administration at Michigan State University, USA
