Blackballed : the black and white politics of race on America's campuses / Lawrence Ross.

Author Ross, Lawrence C. author.

Descriptionxii, 266 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 21 cm

Abstract:"'College' is a word that means many things to many people: a space for knowledge, a place to gain lifelong friends, and an opportunity to transcend one's socioeconomic station. Today, though, this word also recalls a slew of headlines that have revealed a dark and persistent world of racial politics on campus. Does this association disturb our idealized visions of what happens behind the ivied walls of higher learning? It should -- because campus racism on college campuses is as American as college football on Fall Saturdays."-- Provided by publisher.
