Overview
Even academically talented students face challenges in college. For
high-achieving Black women, their racial, gender, and academic
identities intensify those issues. Inside the classroom, they are
spotlighted and feel forced to be representatives for their
identity groups. In campus life, they are isolated and face
microaggressions from peers. Using intersectionality as a
theoretical framework, Davis addresses the significance of the
various identities of high-achieving Black women in college
individually and collectively, revealing the ways institutional
oppression functions at historically white institutions and in
social interactions on and off campus. Based on interviews with
collegiate Black women in honors communities, Black and
Smart analyzes the experiences of academically talented Black
undergraduate women navigating their social and academic lives at
urban historically white institutions and offers strategies for
creating more inclusive academic and social environments for
talented undergraduates.
