"""?Selected New Books on Higher Education: How to Ease the Way for Transgender and First-Generation Students"" by Ruth Hammond mention-- ""Chronicle of Higher Education"" ""Positioning Ourselves to Support College Success for Males of Color"" by Derrick R. Brooms -- ""Diverse Issues in Higher Education"" ""Empowering Men of Color on Campus goes beyond the normal focus on the problems and challenges facing Black and Latino men and instead highlights the resilience and assets that allow them to succeed. The beauty of this volume is that the message of empowerment is one that emanates from the voices of men of color themselves, thereby elevating their perspectives. This anti-deficit work represents a fresh and essential perspective that is necessary for truly empowering our men of color. This book is a must-read for every practitioner, policymaker, and advocate who seeks to improve the success of Black and Latino college men.""--J. Luke Wood ""Distinguished Professor of Education, San Diego State University"" ""Empowering Men of Color on Campus is an absolute must-read primer. Grounded in critical race theory and driven by student counter-narratives, this impressive text provides a much-needed glimpse into the ways in which Black and Latino males use personal, university and community assets to successfully engage and navigate higher education.""--Horace R. Hall, PhD ""DePaul University, author of Mentoring Young Men of Color"""
