Press blurb: As neoliberalism has expanded from corporations to higher
education, the notion of “diversity” is increasingly seen as the
contribution of individuals to an organization. By focusing on one liberal
arts college, author Bonnie Urciuoli shows how schools market themselves as
“diverse” communities to which all members contribute. She explores how
students of color are recruited, how their lives are institutionally
organized, and how they provide the faces, numbers, and stories that
represent schools as diverse. In doing so, she finds that unlike students’
routine experiences of racism or other social differences, neoliberal
diversity is mainly about improving schools’ images.
