<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book reveals the roots of structural racism that limit social mobility and equality within Britain for Black and ethnicised students and academics in its inherently white Higher Education institutions. It brings together both established and emerging scholars in the fields of Race and Education to explore what institutional racism in British Higher Education looks like in colour-blind 'post-race' times, when racism is deemed to be 'off the political agenda'. Keeping pace with our rapidly changing global universities, this edited collection asks difficult and challenging questions, including why black academics leave the system; why the curriculum is still white; how elite universities reproduce race privilege; and how Black, Muslim and Gypsy traveller students are disadvantaged and excluded.<br></p><p>The book also discusses why British racial equality legislation has failed to address racism, and explores what the Black student movement is doing about this. As the authors powerfully argue, it is only by dismantling the invisible architecture of post-colonial white privilege that the 21st century struggle for a truly decolonised academy can begin. This collection will be essential reading for students and academics working in the fields of Education, Sociology, and Race.</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jason Arday</b> is a Senior Lecturer in Education Studies at Roehampton University, UK, a Visiting Research Fellow at The Ohio State University in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, a Trustee of the Runnymede Trust and Co-Chair of the Runnymede Academic Forum. <b>Heidi Safia Mirza</b> is Professor of Race, Faith and Culture at Goldsmith's College, University of London, UK.
