“A passionate, incisive critique of the many ways in which women and girls of color are systematically erased or marginalized in discussions of police violence.” —Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow Invisible No More is a timely examination of how Black women, Indigenous women, and women of color experience racial profiling, police brutality, and immigration enforcement. By placing the individual stories of Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, Dajerria Becton, Monica Jones, and Mya Hall in the broader context of the twin epidemics of police violence and mass incarceration, Andrea Ritchie documents the evolution of movements centered around women’s experiences of policing. Featuring a powerful forward by activist Angela Davis, Invisible No More is an essential exposé on police violence against WOC that demands a radical rethinking of our visions of safety—and the means we devote to achieving it.

Declare Your Dreams and Turn Them into Reality TV writers and twin sisters JaNeika and JaSheika James' inspiring memoir recounts their life from their early years as military brats living overseas with their mother to their successful television careers including writing for the hit TV series Empire. With humor, and an in-your-face "you can make your dreams a reality" approach, JaNeika and JaSheika discuss their love for television which grew out of viewing movies and TV shows on video while living in Germany and later watching soap operas with their grandmother. Their obsession with television continued through college, when they recorded and watched their favorite soap operas with their dormmates. But it was a trip to the set of Dawson's Creek in Wilmington, N.C. during their freshman year of college that crystallized their dream of working in television production. The sisters take various entry-level jobs in order to learn everything they can about television production, all the while focused on their desire to write stories about African-American women. Their career path isn't always smooth; they have to go on unemployment, take steps backward to assistant roles and work on programs that aren't picked up by the networks up but they always focus on their dream - to write for TV about what they know and have experienced firsthand. After working for a number of years, they're accepted in to the FOX Writing Intensive Program which ultimately led to writing for the ground-breaking show, Empire. Living Doubleis a behind-the-scenes look at the competitive world of television programming as well an inspiring account of two sisters determined to make their dream careers a reality --- and to share their life lessons with anyone who has a big dream. JaNeika and JaSheika offer their advice and tips on how to achieve the seemingly impossible.
Beginning in the late 1960s, women's studies scholars worked to introduce courses on the history, literature, and philosophies of women. While these initial efforts were rather general, women's studies programs have started to give increasing amounts of attention to the special concerns of women of color. The topic itself is politically charged, and there is growing awareness that the issues facing women of color are diverse and complex. Expert contributors offer chapters on the major concerns facing women of color in the modern world, particularly in the United States and Latin America. Each chapter treats one or more groups of women who have been underrepresented in women's studies scholarship or have had their experiences misinterpreted, including African Americans, Latina Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. Women of Color includes chapters on theories related to race, gender, and identity. One section provides discussions of literature by women of color, including works by such authors as Toni Morrison and Maxine Hong Kingston. The book also focuses on the place of women of color in higher education, including chapters on women of color and the women's studies curriculum, and the role of librarians in shaping women's studies programs.
Philosophy is in its fourth millennium but this collection is the first of its kind. Twelve contemporary women of color who are American academic philosophers consider the methods and subjects of the discipline from perspectives partly informed by their experiences as African American, Asian American, Latina, Mixed Race and Native American.
The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

Though there has been a rapid increase of women’s representation in law and business, their representation in STEM fields has not been matched.

In this book, the authors address the issues that encounter women of color in STEM in higher education.
