      abstract = {"Unlikely Allies in the Academy brings the voices of women  of Color and White women together for much-overdue  conversations about race. These well-known contributors use  narrative to expose their stories, which are at times messy  and always candid. However, the contributors work through  the discomfort, confusion, and frustration in order to have  honest conversations about race and racism. The narratives  from Chicanas, Indigenous, Asian American, African  American, and White women academicians explore our past,  present, and future, what separates us, and how to  communicate honestly in an effort to become allies.  Chapters discuss the need to interrupt and disrupt the  norms of interaction and engagement by allowing for the  messiness of discomfort in frank discussion. The dialogues  model how to engage in difficult dialogues about race and  begin to illuminate the unspoken misunderstandings about  how White women and women of Color engage one another. This  valuable book offers strategies, ideas, and the hope for  moving toward true alliances in the academy and to improve  race relations. This important resource is for Higher  Education administrators and scholars grappling with the  intersectionality of race and gender as they work to  understand, study, and create more inclusive climates."--  Back cover.},
