Rutgers University Press Black Space: Negotiating Race, Diversity, and
Book SynopsisProtests against racial injustice and anti-Blackness have swept across elite colleges and universities in recent years, exposing systemic racism and raising questions about what it means for Black students to belong at these institutions. In Black Space, Sherry L. Deckman takes us into the lives of the members of the Kuumba Singers, a Black student organization at Harvard with racially diverse members, and a self-proclaimed safe space for anyone but particularly Black students. Uniquely focusing on Black students in an elite space where they are the majority, Deckman provides a case study in how colleges and universities might reimagine safe spaces. Through rich description and sharing moments in students’ everyday lives, Deckman demonstrates the possibilities and challenges Black students face as they navigate campus culture and the refuge they find in this organization. This work illuminates ways administrators, faculty, student affairs staff, and indeed, students themselves, might productively address issues of difference and anti-Blackness for the purpose of fostering critically inclusive campus environments. Trade Review“Sherry Deckman has written an important volume about how space, place, and identity are racialized through campus life that is truly a gift. People should read, reflect, and hopefully struggle with the complexity presented in this study because of its implications for how we work towards diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education.” -- W. Carson Byrd * Faculty Director of Research Initiatives, National Center for Institutional Diversity, University of Michigan *"Deckman’s treatment of cultivating safe Black space in an elite, predominately white university context is masterful and instructive. As it turns out, mission, commitment, transparency, respect, care, and most importantly, love comprise the necessary chords to maintain a racially safe space for Black students that centers blackness and where non-Black students may also choose to participate. How much better off our schools and universities would become if only they embodied the lessons that Deckman beautifully conveys." -- Keffrelyn D. Brown * Suzanne B. and John L.

Rutgers University Press A History of the Rutgers University Glee Club
Book SynopsisFounded in 1872, the Glee Club is Rutgers University’s oldest continuously active student organization, as well as one of the first glee clubs in the United States. For the past 150 years, it has represented the university and presented an image of the Rutgers man on a national and international stage. This volume offers a comprehensive history of the Rutgers Glee Club, from its origins adopting traditions from the German Männerchor and British singing clubs to its current manifestation as a world-recognized ensemble. Along the way, we meet the colorful and charismatic men who have directed the group over the years, from the popular composer and minstrel performer Loren Bragdon to the classically-trained conductor Patrick Gardner. And of course, we learn what the club has meant to the generations of talented and dedicated young men who have sung in it. A History of the Rutgers University Glee Club recounts the origins of the group’s most beloved traditions, including the composition of the alma mater’s anthem “On the Banks of the Old Raritan” and the development of the annual Christmas in Carol and Song concerts. Meticulously researched, including a complete discography of the club’s recordings, this book is a must-have for all the Rutgers Glee Club’s many fans and alumni.Table of ContentsForeword Introduction Chapter 1 Early History The Männechor Tradition and the English Catch Clubs The Glee Club of London Collegiate Glee Clubs in America The Rutgers College Glee Club Birth of the Rutgers College Glee Club Composition of “On the Banks of the Old Raritan” (1873) Sidebar – Howard Newton Fuller (1854-1931) 1872-1879 – Fits and Starts 1880-1895 – Stable Leadership Loren Bragdon’s Leadership in the 1890s Sidebar – Loren Bragdon (1856-1914) Sidebar – The Rutgers Songbook (Songs of Rutgers) Sidebar – Alma Mater Chapter 2 – New Directions George W.
