Collecting stories that are both deeply personal and powerfully political, \u003ci\u003eTelling Histories\u003c\/i\u003e compiles seventeen personal narratives by leading black women historians at various stages in their careers. Their essays illuminate how--first as graduate students and then as professional historians--they entered and navigated the realm of higher education, a world concerned with and dominated by whites and men. In distinct voices and from different vantage points, the personal histories revealed here also tell the story of the struggle to establish a new scholarly field. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBlack women, alleged by affirmative-action supporters and opponents to be \"twofers,\" recount how they have confronted racism, sexism, and homophobia on college campuses. They explore how the personal and the political intersect in historical research and writing and in the academy. Organized by the years the contributors earned their Ph.D.'s, these essays follow the black women who entered the field of history during and after the civil rights and black power movements, endured the turbulent 1970s, and opened up the field of black women's history in the 1980s. By comparing the experiences of older and younger generations, this collection makes visible the benefits and drawbacks of the institutionalization of African American and African American women's history. \u003ci\u003eTelling Histories\u003c\/i\u003e captures the voices of these pioneers, intimately and publicly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors: \u003cbr\u003eElsa Barkley Brown, University of Maryland\u003cbr\u003eMia Bay, Rutgers University\u003cbr\u003eLeslie Brown, Washington University in St. Louis\u003cbr\u003eCrystal N.
