Author: Cherlyn A. Johnson. Title: Guests at an Ivory Tower. Using in-depth, audiotaped interviews, the author analyzed the data by applying Vincent Tinto's theory of student departure. This book is not only about Black students' initial academic struggles and study-skills courses that could help them survive the rigors of the academy, but also about their triumphs and successes to survive socially in an academic institution where they might find themselves feeling as 'Guests in an Ivory Tower.'.
