April Book of The Month :Truth Without Tears by Carolyn R. Hodges and Olga M. Welch

Truth Without Tears: African American Women Deans Share Lessons in Leadership (Race and Education)


Hodges and Welch deftly combine autobiography with more general information and observations to fashion an interesting and helpful book about higher education leadership. They offer their perspectives on being the first deans of color in two predominately white institutions in an effort to fill a gap that exists in the literature on deanships in higher education.
