One of the most critical, informative, and compelling books recently published is the
thought-provoking Ivory Tower Indeed by Dr. Keith Robinson. Through the extensive
research cited by Dr. Robinson in this work, along with innumerable interviews, the
author presents the ongoing challenges experienced by students of color who aspire to
attend colleges and universities, yet struggle to overcome barriers that largely do not
exist for their white peers.
--Katherine A. James, Ed.D., Ph.D, Educator, Member Emerita of Phi Delta Kappa
Education is a difference-maker and game-changer for the future today as it was yesteryear! But not all opportunities are created equal.
Unfortunately, for students of color, education often does not happen unless they are given the opportunities to get into higher learning institutions. Ivory Tower Indeed: Addressing Structural Barriers to Higher Education for Students of Color and Making College Accessible for All is a powerful medium in which young black and brown boys aspiring to attend college find powerful insight to assist them with their journeys to college.
Offering a first-hand account of some of the things that impede black and brown boys' entry into best and proper-fit colleges and universities throughout this country and abroad, reading their answers' rich and robust primary data encourages closer examination of the problems plaguing students of color and inspires change.
Providing invaluable insight to public high schools, colleges, universities, and higher learning institutions all over the world, Ivory Tower Indeed assists educators, administrators, planners, advisors, counselors, and school staff see the urgent needs associated with recruiting, retaining, and graduating black and brown boys.
