“This collection of essays is a timely intervention given the discussions going on in Whitehall and on campuses about access, equality and the legacy of colonialism and empire in our universities. Whilst attention must of course attention must be paid to who is able to participate in higher education, we must also focus on issues of race within the institutions themselves.” (The Rt Hon David Lammy, MP, The Labour Party)
“Arday and Mirza tackle the perennial status of racism in the academy. Beyond the common refrain that Whites are the center of the problem, the contributors rightfully focus our efforts at dismantling the ideology of whiteness itself.” (Professor Zeus Leonardo, University of California, Berkeley, USA)
“This book is an essential guide to the most important questions facing Higher Education globally. Behind a façade of pleasant sounding aspirations, such as ‘free speech’ and ‘academic standards’, a war is being waged to determine the knowledge that universitiesare allowed to teach and the racialized nature of the staff and student body.” (Professor David Gillborn, University of Birmingham, UK)
“This landmark publication takes on an ambitious project: fiercely critical analyses intertwined with intersectional visions of hope and tools for a different practice. A new generation of critical voices takes us closer to the tipping point where ‘enough =enough’ can trigger genuine transformation.” (Professor Philomena Essed, Antioch University, USA)
“Dismantling Race in Higher Education is a must read edited volume for those individuals who are really interested in understanding the influences of race within the UK higher education enterprise. Both Dr Jason Arday and Professor Heidi Safia Mirza assembled an all-star team of UK ‘race studies’ scholars and researchers to put this book together. In my opinion, it includes important content that may stimulate a new generation of ‘race studies’ thought leaders in the UK. This edited volume has immense potential to become a classic text for higher education scholars and researchers throughout the UK higher education system and beyond.” (Professor James Moore III, The Ohio State University, USA)
“Covering multiple experiences, histories, policies and pedagogies, Dismantling Race is an impressive contribution to scholarship on higher education. Across a set of beautifully curated chapters the imbrication of whiteness in the British Academy is catalogued, reported and explained. Few, having read the book, will doubt that higher education is institutionally racist; and few will doubt the urgency of contemporary decolonizing initiatives.” (Professor Robbie Shilliam, John Hopkins University, USA)
