Knowledge is more expansive than the boundaries of the Western university model and its claim to be the dominant—or only—rigorous house of knowledge. In the former colonies of Europe (e.g., South Africa, Brazil, and Oceania), the curriculum, statues, architectures, and other aspects of the university demonstrate the way in which it is a fixture in empire maintenance. The trajectory of global White supremacy is deeply historical and contemporary—it is a global, transnational, and imperial phenomenon. White supremacy is sustained through the construction of inferiority and anti-Blackness. The context, history, and perspective offered by Collins, Newman, and Jun should serve as an introduction to the disruption of the ways in which university and academic dispositions have and continue to serve as sites of colonial and White supremacist preservation—as well as sites of resistance. 
 

"Collins, Newman, and Jun offer fresh and thoughtful perspectives on ways that modern universities have long perpetuated Whiteness throughout the world. Global White Supremacy is a must-read primer for anyone working in or studying international higher education." - Editor of U.S. Power in International Higher Education (Rutgers University Press, 2021)

"Finally! An authentic and thoughtful account of white supremacy and settler colonialism in higher education that will help lead us towards necessary healing and transformation." - Director of the University of Hawaii Manoa Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Campus Center
