Description:

In the 1960s increasing numbers of African American students entered predominantly white colleges and universities in the northern and western United States. This book focuses on the women of this pioneering generation, examining their educational stragtegies and experiences and exploring how social class, family upbringing, and expectations, their own and others', prepared them to achieve in an often hostile setting.
