They offer fresh historical, social, and cultural insights into what it means to teach, learn, research, and work while Black.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn daring to shift from margin to centre, the book\u0026amp;#x2019;s contributors confront two overlapping themes. First, they resist a singular construction of Blackness that masks the nuances and multiplicity of what it means to be and experience the academy as Black people. Second, they challenge the stubborn durability of anti-Black tropes, the dehumanization of Blackness, persistent deficit ideologies, and the tyranny of low expectations that permeate the dominant idea of Blackness in the white colonial imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOperating at the intersections of discourse and experience, contributors reflect on how Blackness shapes academic pathways, ignites complicated and often difficult conversations, and reimagines Black pasts, presents, and futures. This unique collection contributes to the articulation of more nuanced understandings of the ways in which Blackness is made, unmade, and remade in the academy and the implications for interrelated dynamics across and within post-secondary education, Black communities in Canada, and global Black diasporas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures and Tables \u003cbr\u003ePreface: The Nuances of Blackness: A Genesis and Outline \u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: A Meditation on the Nuances of Blackness in the Canadian Academy \u003cbr\u003eAwad Ibrahim, Tamari Kitossa, Malinda S.
