Black Women Academics at the Intersections - Race, Gender and Colonial Legacies in British and Caribbean Higher Education

Black women academics often navigate higher education systems that render them hyper(in)visible or intellectually disposable. This book explores their experiences in British and postcolonial British Caribbean universities, drawing on intersectional frameworks and qualitative research. Through in-depth interviews and intersectional renderings, it examines how these scholars resist marginalization, build community, and challenge institutional inequities. Grounded in Black British Feminism and Afro-Caribbean Feminist Thought, the volume illuminates the strategies that sustain and transform academic lives while addressing systemic barriers. This is an important contribution to debates on race, gender, and coloniality in comparative higher education, offering insight for researchers, educators, and policymakers committed to equity and inclusion.
