Book Club. “Presumed Incompetent: The Intersections of Race and Class for Women in
Academia” Edited
by Gabriella Gutierrez y Muhs; Yolanda Flores Neimann;
Carment G. Gonzalez; Angela P. Harris
. (Discussing Chapters: Chapter 15
and Chapter 20) Presumed Incompetent
is a path-breaking account of the intersecting roles of race, gender, and class
in the working lives of women faculty of color. Through personal narratives and
qualitative empirical studies, more than 40 authors expose the daunting
challenges faced by academic women of color as they navigate the often hostile
terrain of higher education, including hiring, promotion, tenure, and relations
with students, colleagues, and administrators. The narratives are filled with
wit, wisdom, and concrete recommendations, and provide a window into the
struggles of professional women in a racially stratified but increasingly
multicultural America.
