Black in the Middle: Navigating Power, Politics, and Purpose in Higher Education is a powerful collection of first-person narratives from those who have served as Black mid-level administrators. Their stories are from the front lines of higher education. Positioned between frontline staff and executive leadership, these professionals have navigated the complexities of race, power, loyalty, and institutional change without a roadmap or recognition.
Through stories of resilience, ethical dilemmas, professional isolation, and strategic leadership,
this book shines a light on the hidden labor and lived experiences of those who lead from the
middle. Each chapter includes practical takeaways, reflection questions, and discussion
prompts—making it essential reading for current and aspiring higher education leaders, graduate
students, and anyone committed to equity in academic spaces.
This is more than a leadership book. It’s a blueprint for surviving and thriving within systems not
built for you.
