Whose "I/Eye" Counts?: The Reproduction of Mythical Master Narratives.
Osei-Kofi, Nana
Review of Higher Education, v26 n4 p487-96 Sum 2003
The literature on diversity in higher education spans a broad range of issues. However, while broad in range, contemporary scholarship on diversity in higher education often suffers from a view of diversity that is ahistorical and acontextual. Through a critique of a study by Wolf-Wendel, Toma, and Morphew (2001), aims to demonstrate how ahistorical and acontexual approaches to diversity perpetuate powerful mythical master narratives that uphold the status quo.
