Description
"Rethiuking Race, Class, Language, and Gender comes at a portentous rime. Following in the wake of the collapse of free marker fundamentalism, the ever-turbulent topic of race is at the forefront of discussion, even when it is discernibly absent from view. The ever-present tendency to view race as a code word for "special interests" has never been more prevalent, even though Blacks, Latino/as, and other oppressed minority groups still lack the social power to transform in any serious way the complex system of social relations char oppresses them. With the first African American president now at the helm of the country, a powerful White backlash has been unleashed against people of color. The mere mention of race in the public square is now considered by many White people (who consider themselves to be the new, unacknowledged, oppressed) to be a declaration of war against them."
