African Americans and Community Engagement (AACE) discusses race and its roles in university-community partnerships. This edited volume allows students, agency staff, community constituents, faculty, and campus administrators an opportunity to reflect and redefine what impact African American identity--in the academy and in the community--has on various forms of community engagement. From historic concepts of "race uplift" to contemporary debates about racialized perceptions of need (seen in discussion of "urban" communities or service efforts with Hurricane Katrina survivors), African American identity plays a significant role. This volume offers a cogent platform from which to encourage the difficult (yet much-needed) inclusion of race in dialogues of national service and community engagement. Social change can happen more effectively through critically discussing assumptions, expectations, experiences, and perspectives that emerge when placing race at the center of town-gown communication and practice. The AACE chapters represent best practices, recommendations, personal insight, and informed warnings about building sustainable--and mutually beneficial--relationships.

Black Women in the Ivory Tower chronicles Black women's struggle for access to higher education and presents historic philosophies of influential scholars. Part One, an educational history, begins in 1850, when Oberlin conferred the first college diploma upon Lucy Stanton and continues through the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision. Part Two, an intellectual history, presents Black women's philosophies of higher education between Anna Cooper's 1892 A Voice from the South and Mary McLeod Bethune's 1955 "Last Will and Testament." This story reveals how Black women demanded space as students and asserted their voice as educators, contributing in significant ways to higher education in the United States.
