This book presents a comparative study of the history and development of
indigenous and ethnic higher education in the US and China. The author
focuses on institutions serving American Indians and Alaska Natives
(AIANs) and Chinese Ethnic Minorities (CEMs), such as Tribal Colleges
and Universities (TCUs) in the US and Ethnic Minority Serving
Institutions (EMSIs) in China. Chapters center voices within indigenous
and ethnic education, including experts, senior administrators, and
faculty members as well as AIAN tribal leaders and activists. These
voices enrich the study and provide context to explore the issues and
challenges surrounding ethnic and minority-serving higher education
institutions today. Finally, the author addresses strategies and
practices for the future which will better serve AIAN and CEM students
and communities.
