Abstract
In presenting Case 2, Katrice A. Albert and Marco J. Barker conceptualize diversifying the academy as running parallel to the broader social pressures of the Obama era, where financial and human resources dedicated to diversity work are construed as nonessential costs in times of retrenchment, thus rendering such efforts impotent, despite university leaders' rhetoric to the contrary. Consistent with the cases represented in the book, the effort to offer bilingual versions of scholarship epitomizes the type of direct action associated with occupation. [...]in many ways, this book serves its objective by expanding our conceptions of legitimate patterns of inclusion in higher education.
