Description

Elizabeth Higginbotham. University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, NC. 2001, 290 pp. (paperback) US$19.95. Elizabeth Higginbotham's Too Much to Ask: Black Women in the Era of Integration (2001) provides a powerful and enlightening message about the lives and pioneering experiences of 12 middle-class and working-class women who helped to integrate American higher education in the post-civil rights era of the 1950s and 1960s. The book is based on a study that followed the paths of 56 Black women who graduated from predominantly White colleges between the years 1968-1970. The women were contacted 6-8 years after graduation to complete follow-up surveys. Higginbotham focused her book on interviews with twelve out of the 56 women. At its heart, Too Much to Ask is poignant and compelling as it explores how social class, family practices and expectations prepared and influenced the lives and educational outcomes of Black women in the 1960s.
