What is "I have been waiting" : race and U.S. higher education about?

<p>While much progress has been made towards the quest for racial equality in the education system, there is still much work to be done. In <I>'I Have Been Waiting'</I>, Jennifer Simpson pays explicit attention to the ways in which systems of higher education have excluded people of colour, and how white students and teachers might better address issues of race and racism in educational settings.</p><p>Simpson's argument is wide-ranging and incisive. She examines the role of history and the link between racial agency and racial memories; she probes epistemology, claims to authority, and the limits of a knowledge base that draws primarily on what white people know; she analyzes cross-racial dialogues – including barriers and steps to implementation – to reveal the prevalence of assimilationist approaches; and she reiterates the importance of making whiteness visible.</p><p>Methodologically, Simpson draws heavily on autoethnography and social analysis, but also provides an excellent historical overview of the issues central to race and higher education, as well a rigorous examination of theoretical discourse from fields including pedagogy, whiteness studies, and feminist thought. <I>
