Retaining African Americans in Higher Education: Challenging Paradigms for Retaining Students, Faculty and Administrators
I think it's great that someone has penned the history of Black Studies as I am truly grateful for many of the things I've learned from many of the scholars and classes. However, the book's tone is so dry and repetitive it took me about a month to finish it instead of a few days/week that I normally need to finished a book of any genre.
There were sometimes when the book started to pick up, only only to be slowed down to the pace of a snail by repetition, graphs, and calculations. I understand that it was a book released by university, which might account for the dry tone, but the book also had a uneasy flow about it, making it difficult for me to understand.
As someone who used to read non-fiction exclusively (until about 8 months ago), I can tell you of all the non-fiction books I've read, this was the most dry, boring, and uneasy. I had a better understanding (and fun) reading sermons in old English.
I just thankful I got this as a gift, since my local library only had the book available as a reference.
