An amazing book! I enjoyed the analysis of one aspect of the civil rights movement that we greatly overlook. Most of the time we focus on how the government addressed desegregation, civil rights, and affirmative action but here, Dr.Cole did a fantastic job at analyzing how colleges and universities addressed these pressing issues. 

It also provided an unspoken analysis that people can be complex and that people's motives can be very different than their intentions. If you are looking for somewhere to start when discussing racism and civil rights in higher education this is a good book to read.
