They offer fresh historical, social, and cultural insights into what it means to teach, learn, research, and work while Black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn daring to shift from margin to centre, the book's contributors confront two overlapping themes. First, they resist a singular construction of Blackness that masks the nuances and multiplicity of what it means to be and experience the academy as Black people. Second, they challenge the stubborn durability of anti-Black tropes, the dehumanization of Blackness, persistent deficit ideologies, and the tyranny of low expectations that permeate the dominant idea of Blackness in the white colonial imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperating at the intersections of discourse and experience, contributors reflect on how Blackness shapes academic pathways, ignites complicated and often difficult conversations, and reimagines Black pasts, presents, and futures. This unique collection contributes to the articulation of more nuanced understandings of the ways in which Blackness is made, unmade, and remade in the academy and the implications for interrelated dynamics across and within post-secondary education, Black communities in Canada, and global Black diasporas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Awad Ibrahim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487528701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487528706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.40d","brand":"Awad Ibrahim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987690324223,"sku":"9781487528706","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7be3c37-ace3-4769-98fe-c889cd83190a.jpg?v=1683290440","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nuances-of-blackness-in-the-awad-ibrahim-9781487528706","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
