Offers novel frameworks and models for understanding college access and choice among communities of Color.
This much-needed volume brings together academics, practitioners, students, and community members of Color to thoroughly reframe college access and choice in research and practice. Enrollment rates continue to differ substantially by race and ethnicity. While Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color remain inequitably stratified in the pursuit of higher education, many models of college choice are simply insufficient for understanding the college-going processes of diverse students. Continually centering BIPOC knowledge, assets, and needs, contributors provide a series of varied yet connected frameworks grounded in culturally sustaining, community-oriented research. Like the educational journeys it represents, the volume is a communal activity that invites participation. Each chapter concludes with a series of critical reflection questions to guide readers in deeper learning and engagement.

"The editors and authors of this much-needed book reframe issues of postsecondary education access and opportunity with students of color in mind. In pushing the fields of higher education and counseling education to adopt asset-based, critical approaches, it promises to make an important contribution to both the scholarly literature and our collective practices." Darris R. Means, coeditor of Race and Rurality: Considerations for Advancing Higher Education Equity
