Review
------
“The second edition sets out, successfully, to give
‘greater voice to students who are not part of the dominant
cultures’. The format includes clear and succinct case studies
that assist in revealing the experiences of each group of these
students on college campuses. Authors include discussion
questions at the end of their essays to assist in processing the
material and to move the conversation forward.
Arranged into three perspectival parts with substantive essays
addressing ‘Awareness of Cultural Issues,’ ‘Information on
Cultural Populations,’ and ‘Critical Consciousness of Cultural
Competence,’ the book itself is a model of diversity and
inclusion insofar as each essay can be understood as a road
for those who are just beginning to engage with the topic of
multiculturalism on college campuses or it can serve to enrich
and affirm the understandings of those who have been working in
the area of student development and multiculturalism.”

“This volume takes an intersectional approach to college student
development by providing a thorough overview of the frameworks,
applications, and assessments of multiculturalism. Across their
chapters, the authors focus on student development. The bulk of
their content is dedicated to racial and ethnic identity
development. While a wide variety of student groups are
discussed, the editors make a concerted effort to unify the
distinct chapters by identifying similarities in different
multicultural theories and the shared experiences of various
groups of learners. Ultimately, because the book is so
application-oriented (e.g., the chapters include resources like
case studies, discussion questions, and implementation
suggestions), it is particularly useful for student affairs
professionals and practitioners.
The editors and chapter authors do an excellent job of setting up
the theoretical foundations of student development models by
defining intersectionality, multiculturalism, and multicultural
identity. Multiculturalism on Campus is an especially useful
resource for practitioners in these challenging times as higher
education institutions continue to wrestle with creating
inclusive and affirming campus environments for their
increasingly diverse student bodies.” (Teachers College Record

"This book advances our ability as educators to create inclusive
campus communities by first providing information about critical
issues and developmental processes for key college student
populations, and then providing case studies and discussion
questions. The focus on developing critical consciousness is
especially powerful as it moves the conversation on diversity
beyond mere inclusion to a more substantive dialogue on social
justice, action, and identifying and challenging systemic
privilege and racism on our college campuses." (Ebelia Hernández,
Chancellor's Scholar - Associate Professor, Department of
Educational Psychology Rutgers University 2016-07-01)
"In two words: impressively comprehensive. New professionals and
seasoned administrators alike will find much that is useful in
the 2nd edition of this book. The editors have again assembled a
dynamic constellation of scholars who offer rich ins into
the texture and substance of multiculturalism on contemporary
college campuses. Anyone who aspires to become a more culturally
competent and responsive educator should read this text.” (Shaun
R. Harper, Professor and Executive Director University of
Pennsylvania Center for the Study of Race & Equity in Education

Chris Linder currently holds a faculty position in College
Student Affairs Administration and the Institute for Women’s
Studies at the University of Georgia. She believes in centering
the voices of historically minoritized people in higher
education. One way in which she puts this value into practice is
through research that fosters equitable campus environments, with
an explicit focus on race and gender. Her research is informed by
her work in a campus-based women’s center, where she supported
survivors of sexual violence. Most recently, her research has
focused on ways campus activists use their voices to elevate
sexual violence as an important national issue. As a
power-conscious educator, Chris also works to expose power in
dominant narratives. Specifically, she examines the intersection
of racism and sexual violence in historical and contemporary
contexts.
