Summary

When research is traditionally conducted about African Americans in higher education, African American men and women often are treated as a monolithic group, thus masking potentially significant developmental and gender-related differences. This sourcebook identifies and explores critical needs and African American women as students, faculty, and administrators on college campuses; and offers recommendations and suggestions for meeting those needs.
