Cazenave Eyes: Memoirs of Racism and Racism Studies

Noel A. Cazenave, Author

As Professor Victoria Reyes so aptly puts it, Cazenave Eyes is “part memoir, part social history, and part social critique.” Through that rare methodological blend and its unique and powerful mix of passion, courage, profanity, vulnerability, spiritual evolution, and humor, Cazenave Eyes provides revealing insights into the struggles of people of color to be their authentic selves in predominantly white universities and other places that are all too often hostile to their very existence. With its brutally honest account of Professor Cazenave’s encounters with racial oppression, as well as his struggles to teach and write about racism in an honest and straightforward manner, Cazenave Eyes offers insightful lessons for those who must navigate such frightening places that can help empower them to not only survive, but indeed strive professionally and personally, without losing their minds, hearts, and souls.
