In this paper, we examine the academy as a specific case of the racialization of space, arguing that most colleges and universities in the United States are in fact historically white colleges and universities (HWCUs). To uncover this reality, we first describe the dual relationship between space and race and racism. Using this theoretical framing, we demonstrate how seemingly “race neutral” components of most American universities (i.e., the history, demography, curriculum, climate, and sets of symbols and traditions) embody, signify, and reproduce whiteness and white supremacy. After examining the racial reality of HWCUs, we offer several suggestions for making HWCUs into truly universalistic, multicultural spaces.


This chapter explains relevant parts of the historical development of American universities. It begins with the development of graduate studies in European institutions and explains selected parts of this history that are relevant to the doctorate in contemporary American universities. Details of the development of American colleges and universities are presented focusing on the nature of the doctoral degrees in American universities, the founding of the American Association of Universities (AAU), and the AAU's influence on the movement towards standardization of the doctorate.
