Explores issues of faculty diversity in American higher education in the mid-1990s, focusing on the experiences of minority scholars in the humanities and social sciences at a wide range of institutions. Also illustrates ways in which teaching and research by these scholars--who are Asian-American, African-American, Native American, and Latino--affects students, university communities, and the academic disciplines in which they work, and the triumphs and disappointments they encounter in their personal lives and academic careers.
