Summary:	"For an African American scholar, who may be the lone minority in a department, navigating the tenure minefield can be a particularly harrowing process. Kerry Ann Rockquemore and Tracey Laszloffy go beyond standard professional resources to serve up practical advice for black faculty intent on playing, and winning, the tenure game." "Addressing head-on how power and the thorny politics of race converge in the academy, The Black Academic's Guide is full of invaluable tips and hard-earned wisdom. It is an essential handbook that will help black faculty survive and thrive in academia without losing their voices or their integrity."--Jacket.
