At the time of this publication, there was limited literature on the role academic librarians play in the attainment of authentic representations of culturally diverse and inclusive materials. Incorporating results from a national-level survey and 19 follow-up interviews, this study focuses on the major theme found: academic librarians are not being adequately trained in collection development during the pursuit of their accredited degrees. When viewed through a lens of critical whiteness studies (CWS), an argument can be made that academia and librarianship are entrenched in whiteness, which perpetuates the silencing of “others.”</p> Erica England Copyright (c) 2025 Erica England https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-01-21 2025-01-21 11 1 32 https://journal.radicallibrarianship.org/index.php/journal/article/view/129 <p>Review of Kwet, M.
