Ivory Tower Hypocrisy: Intellectual Lynching in the Relentless Pursuit of Academic Freedom

The Ivory Tower Hypocrisy: Intellectual Lynching in the Relentless Pursuit of Academic Freedom presents a no-holds-barred critique of racial subjugation based on Dr. Jennifer R. Warren’s 22 years of experience as an educator and social scientist within large research universities. In this unsettling memoir, Dr. Warren exposes a Caucasian-controlled intellectual economy that sanctions unjust academic policies and practices. The reader takes on a first-hand account of why and how Black women faculty are forced to create and disseminate knowledge that supports Caucasian perceptions of reality and, ultimately, to understand how this status quo is hostile to, and at times terrifying in, our pursuit of academic freedom. Points for discussion are at the end of the book.
