No Study without Struggle

No study without struggle: Confronting settler colonialism in higher education

By: Dr. Leigh Patel

How can struggles on campus produce spaces in which higher education can confront settler colonialism and racial capitalism - especially considering that higher education itself is a product and producer of both? This book explores how campus social justice movements directly challenge the belief that education is a pathway to improvement within the structural reality of settler colonialism, which creates and protects wealth for a select few. The book moves beyond naming the problem of racism in higher education and provides interviews with activists and organizers from Black Lives Matter, the Black Panther Party, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Combahee River Collective, and the Young Lords to highlight the relationship between struggle and study in liberation efforts.
