Opis

Recent research suggests that Black and minority ethnic (BME) academics remain underrepresented, particularly at senior levels in higher education and tend to be concentrated in new, post-1992 universities. This book provides an original comparative study of BME academics in both the UK and the USA, considering issues of inequality, difference and identity in the Academy.
