This book reveals how micro-aggressions and other forms of institutional oppression affect subaltern professors, students, and administrators in the academy, despite substantial diversity rhetoric.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrelus analyses ethnographic research carried out over a six year period including testimonios which document personal narratives of subaltern identities in academia. Orelus explores micro-aggressions across the structures of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, immigration status and also carries out a socio-linguistic analysis of the testimonios, looking at discrimination due to language, dialects and accents. While some of the participants are US born, others are from Colombia, Germany, Ghana, India, Jamaica, Jordan, Mexico, the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Spain. Drawing on ideas from critical race theory and decolonial theory, Orelus unpacks various forms of inequities and micro-aggressions, including racial profiling, denial of promotion and tenure, and invisibility, that subaltern professors, students, and administrators have faced in American higher education. The book includes a foreword by Kevin Kumashiro and an afterword by Wayne Au.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePierre Orelus\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor and Chair in Educational Studies and Teacher Preparation at Fairfield University, USA.
