      abstract = {This book employs a fiction-based approach to address the  revolving door of Black faculty and staff in American  colleges and universities as a national crisis that needs  to be resolved systematically. Alex-Assensoh coins the  acronym SOULS to promote the importance of safety,  organizational accountability, unvarnished truth telling,  love, and spirituality as the foundational ingredients for  reimagining and rebuilding an Academy that harnesses the  talents of Black faculty and staff. Chapters feature  storytelling to illustrate common cracks in academic  structures while interweaving interdisciplinary research to  contextualize themes that the fiction-based method reveals.  To conclude, the author provides a research-informed call  to action within the context of institutional  transformation, as well as reflective questions and  recommendations for further reading.},
