Campus Uprisings broadly considers the practical possibilities for creating inclusive campus cultures amid the persistent and troubling racial realities on college and university campuses in the United States. As the editors of this volume suggest in the introduction, racist incidents have garnered increasing attention in national and local news. The editors recount several examples that include racist vandalism in the forms of painted symbols associated with neo-Nazi and white supremacist iconography, the writing of anti-Black epithets on student dorm room doors, and social media posts recounting acts of racial violence. Building on the work of campus climate scholars such as Sylvia Hurtado, the editors draw connections between historical legacies and contemporary incidents of racism and the long-standing tradition of organized resistance.
