In Black Space, Sherry L. Deckman takes us into the lives of the members of the Kuumba Singers, a Black student organization at Harvard with racially diverse members, and a self-proclaimed safe space for anyone but particularly Black students. Uniquely focusing on Black students in an elite space where they are the majority, Deckman provides a case study in how colleges and universities might reimagine safe spaces. Through rich description and sharing moments in students' everyday lives, Deckman demonstrates the possibilities and challenges Black students face as they navigate campus culture and the refuge they find in this organization. This work illuminates ways administrators, faculty, student affairs staff, and indeed, students themselves, might productively address issues of difference and anti-Blackness for the purpose of fostering critically inclusive campus environments."-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Kuumba Singers. 610 20 $a Harvard University $x Students. 610 27 $a Harvard University. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00528983 650 0 $a African American college students $z Cambridge. $z Cambridge. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a EDUCATION / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African American college students. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799102 650 7 $a African Americans $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799608 650 7 $a Students. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01136041 651 7 $a Massachusetts $z Cambridge. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205363 776 08 $i Online version: $a Deckman, Sherry L., $t Black space $d New Brunswick : Rutgers University Press, 2022. $z 9781978822528 $w (DLC) 2021011645 830 0 $a American campus. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031619.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4EB50D60DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
